Maple Peach Barbecue sauce is simple to make with ingredients already in your pantry. Packed with flavors of sweet with a kick of spice.
Did you know how easy it is to make your own homemade barbecue sauce? Grilling season is right around the corner and you’re going to want to try my Maple Peach Barbecue Sauce!
This recipe comes straight from our family farm kitchen. We were working on developing a maple barbecue sauce recipes to bottle and sell in the sugarhouse and developed a few different recipes. If you’re familiar with water bath canning, you can certainly make a big batch and put up a few bottles of this sauce. We bottle it in barbecue sauce jars and stock our own pantry. A bottle of homemade barbecue sauce also makes a great gift. There’s really nothing better than something homemade with love! Feel free to use either fresh or frozen peaches. Most of the peaches dissolve while the sauce cooks and thickens. The smaller you cut the peaches, the more the fruit will dissolve. This sauce has a sweet taste with a kick of spice at the end.
Many times, I’ll purchase fruit or berries at the farmers market and process it immediately. Which means, placing berries in freezer style Ziploc bags and laying them flat in our upright freezer. With something like peaches, I’ll peel and slice them, then place in freezer Ziploc bags. Those also get laid in the freezer flat.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup fresh peaches peeled, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 3/4 cup dark maple syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a medium saucepan, add all of the ingredients and cook over medium heat, whisking together to dissolve any lumps. Cook until the peaches are softened and the sauce has thickened to desired consistency, about 20 minutes.

April 22, 2018 at 3:54 pmHi Jessica , I have a question. Is the dry mustard like totally dry like powder or is it like pourable mustard .Because I’ve seen in the grocery store regular mustard that says on the label dry mustard thats why I was asking
Jessica Robinson says
April 22, 2018 at 5:58 pmAlison, thanks so much for stopping by! Okay, dry mustard or ground mustard is in the spice aisle. It’s mustard seeds ground. Regular mustard would be “prepared mustard” which has things like sugar, vinegar and spices in it. Hope that helps!

May 19, 2018 at 1:59 pmThe barbecue sauce sounds absolutely delicious! What meats do you think pair best with the sauce? For some reason I want to do some kebabs with the sauce – chunks of chicken, peach, onion and corn. Mmm…
Jessica Robinson says
May 19, 2018 at 3:40 pmLaurie,
I think this sauce would be perfect for kebobs with chicken, onion, corn, etc. You can also dilute the sauce with a balsamic dressing (half and half) and pour it over a grilled steak. That is amazing!
