Spicy Peach BBQ Sauce
If you are like me and love peaches, love bbq sauce, and adore a little kick, then you sure need to give this bbq sauce a try soon.
How to Make It
To make it, you’ll add your tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chopped peaches to a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Give it a quick stir to combine it and then let it come to a low boil. As it boils, it will thicken and the chopped peaches will soften and infuse the bbq sauce with their sweet, peach flavor.
Talk about a heavenly aroma!
Allow the bbq sauce to continue to cook until the bbq sauce just coats the back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Then, stir in the peach preserves until well combined.
Remove the bbq sauce from the cooktop and let it cool slightly before tasting. Then, give it a taste and adjust to your preference.
At this point, it is ready to serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
We love this bbq sauce with so many dishes, but it is out of this world delicious with chicken and pork!
I’ve provided the recipe for the amount of flavor and spice that I prefer. However, you can easily adjust the ingredients for what equals perfection for you and your family. Just give it a little taste test once it has cooked and cooled just a bit and adjust to how your family loves it.
I can’t wait to hear how you like it.

Hiya, loved this. I’ve used fresh peaches, tin peaches and jarred peaches based on what I’ve had handy at the time with awesome results. I think you’ve created a real find here. I’ve used this with chicken and pork and after a bbq i was told it was good on the brisket too. It gave me pause, but hey, why not? I believe this is something which I’ll use over the winter on bone in pork chops as well. Its quick and easy to make and as proven, it doesn’t require fresh peaches if not in season. Many thanks. Cheers!
I’m so glad you love this peach BBQ sauce, Bob. We love this sauce on so many different meats.
I’d like to can this up, for use in off seasons, is it possible with this recipe?
Sharon, I haven’t tried canning this BBQ sauce but other people have said they have. Some said they used the water bath method.
Hi, if I wanted to use this to make barbecue chicken in a crockpot, would you recommend cooking the sauce first, or putting all the ingredients into the pot and letting It come together that way? Either way, very excited to try this!
Rachel, I would make the BBQ sauce first. Then spread about 1/4 cup in the bottom of the slow cooker, add the chicken, and then spread about 3/4 cup over the chicken. Cook according to your recipe instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup to serve after chicken has cooked, if desired.
Looking for a barbecue sauce and found this one. Really good! I had to substitute apricot preserves in place of the peach and used nectarines in place of peaches. Worked wonderfully. I will make this again.
Amy, your substitutions sound awesome, too. Thanks.
Hi Robyn, thank you for the recipe. I have tried several different peach bbq sauces only to be disappointed, but I think this one is the one! It sounds delicious and I will be making it soon. I think it will be great on some baby back ribs smoked with a peach rub!
Riley, I hope you enjoy this recipe. We have used it on smoked ribs and it was awesome.
Question Robin. Would the peach preserve be needed if using in season peaches?
Kate, I haven’t tried making this BBQ sauce with just the fresh peaches, Kate, so I can’t tell you how it will turn out.
Great BBQ Sauce recipe–making soon. I look forward to simplicity in recipes. Thanks.
Thanks, Mollie. I hope you enjoy this BBQ sauce.
I’ve had this recipe saved for a couple of years and finally made it yesterday. What was I waiting for? I doubled the recipe and canned 6 half-pint jars because we had an exuberance of peaches from our trees and I’ve been looking for creative ways to use them. Love the flavors, the sweetness, and the hint of heat! (I cut the cayenne in half for personal preference and added 1 tsp. liquid smoke to the double batch.)
Kim, I’m so glad you loved this sauce enough to can it. I haven’t canned any of this sauce yet so you are ahead of me.
do you sell any BBQ Sauce
I’m sorry, Dyjuan, but I don’t make any foods to sell.
