I need a chart in my kitchen to tell me when certain fruits and veggies are in season. Honestly, I can’t keep up nor can I remember the peak seasons of certain fruits. Once in a while, I find myself aimlessly wandering around the produce section of the grocery store trying to find a fruit that isn’t in season because I’m not knowledgeable of how this works. I’ll never forget a couple of years ago I was wandering around Publix trying to find some cherries for a recipe I had to make only to find out cherries weren’t in season. Needless to say, I had to go back to the drawing board. Before you make this recipe or any recipe where the major ingredient is a fruit, make sure it’s in season. Today’s peach mustard sauce is tangy, sweet and has a lot of flavor. You can pair it with whatever you like but I found it went really well with pork chops. My husband almost fell out of his chair when I said I was going to make pork chops. Pork chops aren’t my go-to meat at home and I’ve never made them for him. I still have some learning to do when it comes to cooking pork chops but having a yummy sauce to accompany it can divert attention in case you’ve overcooked it. I will say this: I’m a textures person. A lot of the foods I don’t eat don’t have anything to do with its flavor but more so with its texture (I’m looking at you avocado). This peach mustard sauce has a weird texture but again, slather it over a pork chop and you’ll forget all about it. Ingredients
- 2 large ripe peaches, peeled, cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 3 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. light brown sugar, plus more if needed
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
Purée peaches, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, pepper, and salt in a blender or food processor until mixture is smooth. Taste sauce and season with more salt or brown sugar if needed. Serve alongside pork chops or you favorite meat of choice.
