Homemade Peach Jam BBQ Sauce with Aleppo Pepper A Sweet-Heat Sensation

Few things elevate a dish like a well-crafted sauce, especially one that balances sweet, smoky, and spicy with finesse.

Enter Peach Jam BBQ Sauce with Aleppo Pepper, a versatile condiment that’s equal parts playful and sophisticated.

With the natural sweetness of peaches, the umami depth of soy sauce, and the warm, fruity kick of Aleppo pepper, this sauce is a game-changer for everything from grilled meats to vegetarian staples.

Why This Sauce Works

Peach jam brings concentrated sweetness and a subtle tang.

Aleppo pepper adds mild heat (about 10,000 Scoville heat units) with tomato-like fruitiness, raisin-y tang, and cumin earthiness.

A pepper that’s less aggressive than cayenne but more complex. It’s also a great alternative to generic chili powder or red pepper flakes.

---

Soy sauce and smoked paprika deepen the flavor profile, making it savory enough to stand up to rich proteins.
