Carol came back from Greenville, SC with an abundance of fresh peaches, so I turned 1.5 lb. of them into BBQ sauce following a recipe in TastingTable.com. It was good last night with grilled chicken thighs, and I think would be good with grilled pork, ham or bacon. This will make about a quart and will take about an hour.
1.5 lb. fresh peaches, halved and pitted
1 large orange bell pepper
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and halved
1 Tbs. olive oil
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup peach preserves
¼ cup white wine vinegar
1 Tbs. whole grain mustard
1 Tbs. chopped fresh ginger
1 tsp. coriander seeds
1 tsp. kosher salt
Heat a grill and oil the grate
Put the cut peaches, pepper, and onion on a sheet tray and coat them with the oil. Grill them for about 5 minutes on each side to give them a light char. Remove them from the grill. Put the pepper in a plastic bag to steam off the skin for about 10 minutes. Cut the peaches, pepper, and onion in chunks and put them in a blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
Pour the sauce into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.
