Peaches are yet another favorite summer fruit and are becoming abundant at farmers markets and produce stands.
When buying peaches, choose fruits with a fragrant aroma and flesh that yields a bit when pressed gently. Peaches can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Over the July Fourth weekend, I made some Peach Habanero Barbeque Sauce for a pig roast- my first foray in BBQ sauce making, which, if I might say so myself, was quite successful. The recipe below uses peach butter in addition to fresh peaches. I had canned a batch of peach butter two years ago which sadly had gotten burnt in the crock-pot, leaving it with a slightly smoky flavor. Not so good for spreading on toast, but dang did it make a good BBQ sauce.
