Recipe: Honey Peach Sauce

Honey Peach Sauce
Source: Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, July 1996
Makes 1 3/4 cups of sauce, enough for 2-3 lbs of meat

4 medium peaches or nectarines, peeled
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, cracked
2 teaspoons fresh thyme

Cut up 3 of the peaches (or use nectarines). In a blender or food processor, combine the cut-up fruit, lemon juice, honey, and black pepper. Cover and blend until smooth.

Transfer mixture to a small saucepan, and simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

Chop remaining fruit stir into sauce with thyme (can also use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried and crushed).

Brush sauce onto meat during the last 15 minutes of grilling.

Sauce may be made up to 24 hours in advance. To serve, reheat over low heat, stirring occasionally.

NOTES: Pool this sauce around ham, pork loin roast or turkey steaks and serve with green beans or other garden picks.
