Sweet ‘N Chunky Peach Pecan BBQ Sauce

By Sherry K on July 20th, 2012

I love me some Q.

I’ll admit it.

From Texas to Memphis to KC, I could just Q myself across the country.

And I don’t limit my BBQ infatuation to big slabs of ribs, brisket and shoulder either.

Slather up some salmon or scallops, maybe some green beans or a chicken salad, and I am a happy camper.

And while it’s not unusual for me to simmer a huge pot of from-scratch sauce, made with a couple dozen or more ingredients, I think it’s fun every once in a while to “jazz up” a good bottled sauce.

Now naysayers of sweet sauces, don’t hate! Just make sure you start with a heat-filled, kick butt sauce to balance out the fruity/maple-y additions. You’ll be good to go!

Yes, ma’am, it is on the sidebar. I made it a little bigger so that it is easier to spot. Is it OK to do it that way?

Yum! Those ingredients sound amazing. Trying to imagine what the pumpkin pie spice tastes like in BBQ sauce. Maybe I’ll have to try it!

this looks amazing… don’t have pumpkin spice but I wonder how maybe alittle allspice or ginger and nutmeg would taste instead. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday.
