Ingredients

Units Scale

Produce

  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 3 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated

Pantry

  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1 minute until aromatic.
  2. Add Peaches and Simmer: Add diced peaches, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to the pan. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  3. Cook Until Soft: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and the sauce has thickened.
  4. Mash or Blend: Use a wooden spoon or fork to gently mash the peaches for a chunky sauce, or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency, if desired.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Notes

  • This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Try substituting nectarines or apricots for peaches when in season.
  • For a spicier kick, add finely diced jalapeño with the onion.
  • Serve over grilled meats, fish, or roasted vegetables for a burst of flavor.
