Savory peach sauce is a creative way to use the peaches when they are in season.  When people think of peaches, they think of eating them raw or making a peach cobbler, peach pie or peach jam.  Savory peach sauce doesn’t usually come to mind, but it makes a unique sauce that tastes great.  Savoury peach sauce transforms plain chicken, pork or fish into extraordinary entrees.

Ingredients for Savory Peach Sauce recipe:

5 peaches
1 red onion
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp oil

Add the peaches to onions, then add water, vinegar and red pepper.  Stir and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.   Add salt to taste if necessary.
