Peach Barbeque Sauce

 
I made this barbecue sauce before and totally forgot to blog about it.  Over the winter I used it all.  It was a very delicious recipe.  I can tell you for sure that it is on the canning "to do" list to be sure.  Won't be long and peaches will be in full throttle and I will be canning this stuff to be sure! If you can, I highly recommend you do too.

Have you ever wondered about the spelling of barbeque, I mean barbecue?  You can read about it here, from The Grammarist.  I choose barbeque.  Deal!

By the way, the sauce does darken over time. If you make it and wonder why mine is darker- that's why.
