Peach and Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Martha Stewart Living, 2009

    3 cups Classic Barbecue Sauce                                  
    1 pound peaches pit, dice                                      
    1 cup water +M if needed                                       
    2/3 cup bourbon whiskey                                        

Bring peaches and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until peaches are breaking down, 15 to 20 minutes. (If peaches get too dry, add more water, 2 tablespoons at a time, to prevent peaches from sticking and burning.)

Remove from heat, and add bourbon. Return to medium heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add barbecue sauce, and simmer for 5 more minutes.

Puree mixture in a blender. With blender running, slowly add remaining 1/2 cup water. Blend until mixture is smooth. Let cool, and refrigerate.
