Orchard Peach BBQ Sauce

Summer is here, and you know what that means? Barbecue! 

There's nothing quite like a hot summer day—sitting outside, sipping on a glass of iced tea, and savoring the sweet sounds of chirping birds and the smoky aroma of a grill.  

One underrated delight of summer is grilled fruit. Have you ever tasted grilled pineapple? Or better yet, grilled peaches?   

Summer brings the joy of fresh fruits, especially peaches, and one highly celebrated holiday, the Fourth of July. BBQ and the Fourth of July go hand in hand, especially with a cold glass of iced tea, too. So, we thought, why not combine all these wonderful things together?  

With aprons in hand, we created an Orchard Peach BBQ sauce that fulfilled all our rich, BBQ and grilled peach dreams.  

Orchard Peach BBQ Sauce 

Ingredients: 

- 1.5 cups Orchard Peach Tea Concentrate 

- ½ cup brown sugar 

- ¼ cup hot sauce 

- 1 cup ketchup 

- 2 Tbs Dijon mustard 

- 2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce 

- 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar 

- 1 Tbs olive oil 

- 1 tsp garlic powder 

- ½ tsp onion powder 

- 1 tsp salt 

Instructions: 

1. In a small-medium saucepot, add brown sugar to the hot tea concentrate and stir until dissolved.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the tea and brown sugar mixture, stirring until well combined.
3. Set the pot on medium-high heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to blend the flavors, stirring occasionally. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water.
4. After 45 minutes, let it cool, then transfer to your desired container (we used a pint jar). Store for up to 1 week.
