bbq essentials: peach, mango sauce
Worked on this recipe last evening, and into the morning. What I wanted to do with this sauce is have a bit of sweet, a bit of savory, a bit of sour, and a bit of bite. I broke from traditional recipes that use tomatoes or tomato sauce, so technically I am not sure if this qualifies as a BBQ sauce. With that said, it is decidedly on the sweet side, and pairs brilliantly with grilled chicken. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make bbq essentials: peach, mango sauce
-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2If you want to, you can use frozen peaches and mangos; just make sure they are defrosted before starting.
-
Step 3My favorite green chilies are Hatch brand, and they come in 4-ounce cans. For this recipe you will only need 1 – 2 tablespoons; however, the remainder can be frozen and saved for another recipe.
-
Step 4The savory is controlled by the onions. The sweet is controlled by the fruit, and the coconut sugar. The sour is controlled by the vinegar. The kick is controlled by the green chilies. You can control the taste of this sauce by varying one or all of the ingredients. For example, I would start by adding half the apple-cider vinegar, and then tasting and adding a tablespoon more at a time, until you reach the desired results.
