Smoked Peach Hot Sauce

My Smoked Peach Hot Sauce is where sweet Southern energy meets bold, backyard-grown heat. I take ripe peaches, smoke them low and slow, and blend them with hot chili peppers, sweet bells, onion, molasses, mustard, smoked paprika, smoked salt, garlic, ginger, and a whole lineup of warm spices. Then I hit it with a splash of apple cider and white vinegar plus a kiss of lime juice to keep the flavor bright. The result?A sauce with substance. Thick, smoky, peach-forward, and layered with spices that build into a slow, satisfying burn. Not just heat-for-heat’s-sake — this is the kind of sauce that makes food taste intentional. It shines on: Steaks (especially grilled or reverse-seared) Salmon and seafood Pork chops or pulled pork Roasted veggies Chicken wings or thighs Charcuterie boards If you love sauces that hit sweet, smoky, spicy, and savory all at once — this is your new go-to. A true small-batch classic straight from TheHoodGarden.
