Ingredients
- 3 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced in rings
- Oil for cooking
- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 datil (or habanero) peppers, minced or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Brush peach wedges and onion rings with oil and cook over a hot grill. You want the peaches and onions cooked thoroughly and with a lot of color, so don’t be afraid to let them sit on the grill and allow some charring to happen. The color lends a lot of the grilled flavor, just like meat. If you aren’t grilling, turn the oven up to 500° and roast the oil-coated peaches and onions until soft and brown around the edges. Remove from heat and place in a bowl with a lid or cover with plastic wrap and allow to steam.
2. Add remaining ingredients to a saucepan and cook on medium-low heat just until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add all ingredients to a blender, and slowly work up to full speed, blending until completely smooth, about 2-3 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides. Add a little water as needed to create the consistency you want and adjust the seasoning and spice level to your tastes.
3. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
