- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)

Instructions
- Cook the Peaches: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the diced peaches with a splash of water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and break down.
- Blend the Peaches: Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) to puree the cooked peaches until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan if needed.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the saucepan with the pureed peaches. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors are well blended. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cool and Store: Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for up to two weeks in the fridge.
