Adding the sweet flavor of summer stone fruit to a tangy barbecue sauce is a simple and delicious twist on tomato-based barbecue sauces. Cook nectarines with smoky chipotles, onion, a bit of ketchup, and brown sugar, then blend it all until smooth. Add a hit of vinegar for a sweet-tart sauce that’s great slathered on grilled chicken or smoked ribs.
What to buy: We like the tart-sweet flavors of yellow nectarines over white nectarines in this recipe. Yellow peaches can be substituted for the nectarines.
Game plan: The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let it come to room temperature before using.
