Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large fresh peaches
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 cups chicken stock
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and dice them into small chunks.
Finely mince the shallot and garlic.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced shallot and garlic to the saucepan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and softened.
Add the diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the chicken stock, and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Stir again.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the sauce until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, you can skip this step or blend partially.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more honey for sweetness or a splash of vinegar for extra tanginess as desired.
Serve the peach sauce warm over roasted or grilled poultry, and enjoy!
