Easy Peach Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
Make this easy, no cook peach chipotle barbecue sauce in 10 minutes or less! Sweet, smoky and completely delicious, it will take your BBQ dishes to the next level. Dairy free, gluten free and vegan.
Confession time. I have always just bought barbecue sauce from the grocery store.
While I make as much as possible homemade at this point, it never occurred to me to try my hand at barbecue sauce. Why? I have no idea. I can be weird sometimes.
But since we recently moved further south, and are now surrounded by plenty of barbecue restaurants, it finally dawned on me to give it a try.
Clearly I have been missing out.
Especially since this particular peach chipotle barbecue sauce takes about 5 minutes of your time. You don’t have to cook anything and just whisk it all together in a bowl.
Easy peasy, right? It can be ready to go whenever you need it.
And need it we did this past weekend. This sauce was absolutely perfect for some barbecue ribs.
It’s smoky yet a little sweet, and in my mind has just the right consistency (not too thick but not too thin).

Thank you for this recipe! I’ve started making double batches, diving them into 8-oz Mason jars and freezing, and keeping one jar at a time in the fridge. Most suppers are just for my husband and me, so I can get at least two dinners out of a single jar. He raved the first time I used this (over pork chops). I bet this would be SO good on a bacon burger with sautéed onions and a hearty bun… Ooo, weekend possibilities! 😀
I love this! Thanks so much for letting me know Laurel! 🙂 And oh my gosh yes – that would be amazing on a bacon burger!
I’m not usually a fan of BBQ sauce as it is too sweet for me. This looks fantastic and I love the peaches!
Ooh, you had me at easy–I can do easy! This sounds so good.
Thanks Kiersten!
I’m not sure why I’ve never made my own BBQ sauce, because I’d probably just drink it if I could! This sauce looks amazing and I’m pretty blown away by how quickly it comes together.
It’s so quick – and I usually have almost everything for it at the house. Definite plus!
This BBQ sauce sounds incredible! I love the addition of peach preserves and chipotle and can just imagine how great this tastes 🙂 I have never tried making my own BBQ sauce but you make it sound so simple, thanks for sharing Ashley 🙂
You’ll have to try it sometime : ) Thanks Kelly!
I love the sound of this Ashley! Peach chipotle? Totally unique and I love the flavor combination. I always buy my bbq sauce at the store but now I gotta give this a try at home. Great delicious recipe! 🙂
Thanks Anne! Have a great day : )
Having been raised in Kansas City, I am a barbecue sauce fiend, yet I’ve never tried making it myself either! It seems like it would be a great condiment to play with and adjust with different flavors – love this idea, Ashley!
Exactly – so many different flavor possibilities!
Hi Ashley. I must confess that I do the same. This must change! Especially since this sauce calls for peach preserves. My goodness, what a brilliant idea! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Monet! I figure if it’s this easy to make myself I have no excuse anymore haha!
Me too, Ashley. I found the store-bought bbq sauce ain’t bad at all…and it’s convenient. But now I am totally tempted with your homemade one..the only thing I have to find is the liquid smoke.
You’ll have to try homemade! Especially one like this – it takes just a few minutes : ) We loved the result!
Homemade barbecue sauce is the best! Love this peach chipotle combination!
Yay! Hope you like it : )
Love homemade bbq sauce and this looks like a super idea! What a lovely combination!
Thank you!
I heart homemade BBQ, and since I’m putting peaches in oh, everything, these days, this sauce is right up my alley…and needs to be in my fridge 5 minutes ago.
haha same here. I have so many peaches right now!
I love barbecue sauces with fruit as an ingredient! Can’t wait to try!
You’ll have to report back if you give it a whirl!
This sounds awesome! I have a feeling that it would be super well with tofu. I love making BBQ tofu, and the addition of a sweet flavor sounds fabulous.
Thanks Hannah! The sweet and smoky is such a great combination.
Ohh it sounds amazing! I love fruity BBQ sauces
Thanks Ashley!
Wow, this recipe is so easy! For some reason making homemade sauces and things always seems so daunting, but you make it look so simple. I’d love to try this, and it’s a great way to avoid those nasty preservatives in most BBQ sauces.
Super simple : )
This BBQ sauce sounds so good with that peach and spice! I have made my own before, but I need to experiment more, and I love the sound of this. You’re so lucky you live close to great BBQ restaurants…it’s some of my favorite food!
The peaches and chipotle go so well in it! I know – now if only we would get out and try some haha
Yup…I buy BBQ sauce all the time from the store too! I’ve never tried making it, but this recipe is so easy and has most of the ingredients I have on hand, so there’s no excuse not to try it! 😉
It’s so quick! And totally worth it – you’ll have to let me know if you give it a try!
