Strawberry Peach BBQ Sauce is the most aromatic and delicious sauce you'll have all grilling season!
How to Grill Peaches
- Cut peaches along the seam all the way around until you can twist the two halves off the pit.
-
Brush the cut sides with vegetable oil. For good measure, also brush your grill with oil.
-
For beautiful grill marks, do not move the peaches for 3-4 minutes.
- Turn the peaches to cook the other cut side.
- Remove from the grill with tongs and let cool before removing the skins.

What Can I Substitute for Chipotle in Adobo?
The first time you make any of my recipes, I suggest you do it just as I've laid out for you. These recipes have been tested and we know what works well.
Chipotle in Adobo comes in a can. The chipotle peppers are smoked and dried. Then they are mixed in a sweet and tangy red sauce that includes tomato, vinegar and seasonings. The flavor is smoky and a little spicy, but not overpowering.
But... if truly have to substitute Chipotle in Adobo, here's what you can do: mix a tablespoon of tomato paste with a tablespoon of cider vinegar. Mix in 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, ½ teaspoon of cumin, along with a pinch each of garlic powder and salt. Mix well to combine.

Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries hulled and halved
- 2 cups fresh peaches halved and pitted
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 chipotle chili in adobo chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Scant 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ cup onion minced
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to approximately 425-degrees F. Wrap a small tray with tinfoil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Add the prepared strawberries and cook over indirect heat on the grill until the strawberries begin to caramelize, about 3 minutes. You may want to stir and cook 1-2 minutes more.
- Spray the grill over direct heat. Brush the peaches with olive oil for good measure and place the peach halves on. Grill 3-4 minutes per side, then remove and let cool so they can be handled.
- Over medium high heat, add the olive oil to a small saucepan. Cook the onions until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add the ketchup, maple syrup, strawberry and peach preserves, balsamic vinegar, chipotle in adobo, garlic, ginger, and Dijon mustard. Whisk to combine.
- Remove the skins from the peaches and roughly chop them. To the sauce pot, add the strawberries and peaches. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 5-6 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture. Use as a marinade or serve on the side for dipping.
