Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of baby food?
Absolutely! If you prefer fresh peaches, simply peel and puree them until smooth. You can use about 1 cup of pureed fresh peaches in place of the 7 1/2 oz. jar of peach baby food. This will give your sauce a fresh, vibrant flavor.
How can I make this sauce vegan?
To make this barbecue sauce vegan, replace soy sauce with a gluten-free alternative or coconut aminos. Ensure that the catsup you use is free of animal products. This way, you can enjoy a delicious vegan version that is still packed with flavor.
Is this sauce suitable for canning?
While this peach barbecue sauce is delicious, it is not recommended for canning due to the low acidity of peaches and the lack of a tested canning recipe. For safe preservation, keep it refrigerated or frozen in small portions for later use.
