Easy Peach Hot Sauce Recipe
Before I catch you thinking about Fall and pumpkins, you’ll want to make this easy peach hot sauce recipe.
We’ve been eating this peach hot sauce on everrrrrything, I tell ya! Eggs, Steak, Fish, Chicken, Burgers. Mmm Hmm. We’ve dipped sweet potato fries and homemade chicken nuggets in it. Fabulous. And yes, we’ve even drizzled some on top of homemade vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Weird? No. It was downright amazing!
This peach hot sauce is SO good and we’ve been enjoying it SO much that we decided to make a big batch, bottle it up and give them away as fun little Christmas presents. (THESE bottles I found will make adorable gifts, right?!)
It’s nice and sweet with a big ‘ol kick and a little goes a long way. Of course, you can tame down the kick by adding less habaneros. But don’t be a pansy. Just put ‘em in there. If you’re really tough, you’ll even leave in some of the seeds 😉
Easy Peach Hot Sauce Recipe:
- 4 peaches, skin and pits removed
- 4 habaneros, leave the seeds in or out depending on how spicy you like things
- ½ medium onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon pure raw honey or sweetener of choice (I use THIS)
- Combine all the ingredients together in a high powered blender or food processor and process until the sauce is completely smooth.
- Once smooth, place the mixture in a pot on the stove over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat, let cool and then store in the fridge. Enjoy!
I was already won over with trying this recipe just seeing the peaches and peppers – but then you mentioned ICE CREAM! So please share your recipe for home made vanilla coconut milk ice cream. I’ve searched your site, and you have blood orange and strawberry, but not vanilla.
Can’t wait to make the hot sauce, and no doubt I’ll LOVE it over ice cream. I feel like you and I are kindred spirits with taste sensations – your site is an awesome mentor for me with recipes and exercise. Just did the medicine ball workout (again!) this morning.
YES!!! We are kindred spirits! 😀
For the coconut milk vanilla ice cream here is what I use:
1 can full fat coconut milk
1/4 cup honey
2 egg yolks (optional, but makes it really creamy and adds good nutrients)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean
I mix everything together in a pot over medium heat and stir constantly for 10 minutes (do not let the mixture come to a boil).
Then I freeze it ( and because I don’t have an ice cream maker, I stir it every 45 minutes until it’s a consistency that I like – usually 3 45 minute sessions is all I can handle before I want to dig in) or you could let it cool and then process it in the ice cream maker. It’s good stuff 🙂
Love coconut milk ice cream, however I cannot eat honey ir maple syrup because of autoimmune issues. I can use splenda without any negative effects, go figure. Do yu have any idea how much splenda I should use to sweeten this?
Hi Kathy! I don’t have much (or any!) experience with Splenda so I can’t be of much help to you. I’m hoping another reader can chime in!
This sounds yummy. The stores I shopped at this weekend did not have habanero peppers,have you tried this with jalapeño peppers?
I haven’t Anna Marie, but it would definitely work. The color might change a bit, but I’m sure it would still be fabulous!
I just made this with jalapeños and left seeds in and it has a nice kick to it. Of course that will vary with jalapeños
This recipe sounds and looks great. Can the hot sauce be stored by using a water bath instead of refrigeration?
Yes!
Hi there – we grew a habanero pepper plant this year and are getting a really good yield from it so I was looking for recipes. This looks awesome. Just a quick question before I try it….how long will it last in the fridge for?
Hi Kellie! It lasts a few weeks! You can always freeze it, too – we did that last year and I was happy to find out that it freezes well.
Have you tried making this with canned peaches? Do you thin it would work?
I think it would, Melanie! Great idea!
Hello!!:-) I LOVE anything with peaches….and hotvpeppers, So Your recipe looks AWESOME!! I Noticed in the comments you said you can do a hot water bath (like canning) –How long?!! For the 20 minutes like in the recipe? !! Or a shorter time period?!! I haven’t canned a whole lot if sauces and just wanted to double-check!! Thank You!! I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY IT!!!! God Bless!! Laurie 🙂
Hi Laurie, if I remember correctly, I did do a hot water bath for 20 minutes after following the recipe. I hope you love it!!! I love anything peaches and hot peppers, too 🙂
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I have 10 ~ 125 ml jars cooling on the counter. (I made a second batch after sampling the first!)
I’ve processed them all in a boiling water bath so I’ll have it all year… if it lasts that long!
I can hardly wait to try it after a few weeks of letting it time do it’s thing with the flavour.
I’m so excited!
Wow, that is awesome, Maija! I am jealous of all your jars for the year (I didn’t make time for canning it this year when peaches were in season and am a little bummed that I missed out haha!) – what a treat for you! Enjoy 🙂
I live in Mexico and have six peach trees. The season is just about over for us And I am so happy I stumbled on to your receipe I am on my last batch of fruit and I already have my load of canned peaches and I am pied out.

I don’t see the # of peaches needed, it appears cut off.
I see it now.
I have lots of extra peaches so this is perfect to use them up!!! How would I can this?
Sorry I think I found the answer after reading some of the other comments 🙂
Can I use white peaches?
Yes!
I made this but grilled the pepper and peaches, and it turned out amazing. I also substituted peaches for cherries and wow! Thank you for such a great recipe!!
Wow, I am loving your ideas!!! Can’t wait to try it with cherries!
Hi! Great recipe! Wondering if it can be water bath canned to extend shelf life?
Yes, definitely!
