How To Make southern peach, vidalia onion, and bourbon bbq sauce

Test Kitchen Tips

Vidalia onions are seasonal. Sweet yellow onions are a good substitute.

Step 1

Heat the butter and oil over medium heat in a 4-quart or larger saucepan.

Step 2

Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent; about five minutes.
Step 3

Add the garlic and cook one minute longer.
Step 4

Add the peaches, bourbon, and chipotle peppers and cook, stirring often, until the bourbon has almost completely cooked out; about ten minutes.
Step 5

Pour the mixture, along with the water, into a blender.
Step 6

Blend until smooth.
Step 7

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and lower the heat to low. Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often to keep the sauce from sticking and burning.
Step 8

This recipe makes 6 pints. To can, fill the pint jars to within 1/8 inch of the top. Process in a water bath for 15 minutes.
