Peach Barbecue Sauce is a smoky, savory sauce that’s perfect for grilling or smoking ribs, chicken, or pork. It is just sweet enough, thanks to the peaches, without being overly sweet – and it has a nice kick from the jalapeño brine. This versatile sauce can replace store-bought barbecue sauces with its rich taste and texture, and it pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes like chicken, sweet potatoes, and meatballs.
