Grilled Peach Chipotle Ketchup


I can't get enough of peaches.

In summertime, I eat at least a peach a day, whether it be plain, in a smoothie, baked, or grilled.

This ketchup is just another excuse to pack more peach into my day. It's sweet and tangy with a lingering smoky spice from the chipotle peppers.

I made this sauce with the Brown Butter Burgers with Cilantro & Scallion in mind, but I have plans to slather this on everything I can.


Grilled Peach Chipotle Ketchup
Yield: makes just over 1 cup

Ingredients
  • 2 peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle in adobo*

  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Cooking Directions
  1. Heat grill pan or grill on high. (If you don't have either of these, searing the peaches in a small pan will do.)
  2. Brush the flesh side of the peaches lightly with oil and grill until marked.
  3. Puree peaches with the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.

Use anywhere you would use regular ketchup.

*Whenever I open a can of chipotle in adobo, I puree the entire thing and keep it in my fridge to use as needed.
