Ingredients

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 Tbs. onion salt

2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground mace

1/3 cup white vinegar

2 cups tomato ketchup

1 cup peach preserves, puréed

2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbs. honey

4 Tbs. butter, cubed and well chilled

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the butter.

Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. (You may want to have a lid handy to protect yourself and your kitchen from any sputtering.)

Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

With a whisk, blend in the butter cubes, a couple at a time, until incorporated.

This is the sweetest of the three sauces for barbecued chicken. You can add a tablespoon or so of peach liqueur for more peach flavor.
