2.8 (6 reviews)

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 tsp. coarse sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 cup peaches, peeled and diced
1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
2 Tbsp. tamari or soy sauce
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1–3 Tbsp. chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
2 tsp. fresh sage, minced

Instructions

Warm the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and cayenne pepper and sauté until the onion is soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer to a blender. Add the peaches, tomato sauce, water, red wine vinegar, pomegranate molasses, lime juice, tamari or soy sauce, tomato paste, and chipotle peppers and process until smooth.
Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 20 minutes. Stir in the sage and simmer for 1 to 2 more minutes. Taste and season with more salt, if desired. Use immediately or store in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Makes about 2 1/2 cups
