With Christmas smack-bang in the middle of barbie season, there are few more perfect gifts than a home-made barbecue sauce made from summer stonefruit.

Ingredients

  • 100g butter

  • 2 large brown onions, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 1kg yellow peaches, peeled and seeded

  • 750g plums, peeled and seeded

  • 500g tomatoes, peeled and seeded

  • 4 birds-eye chillies, seeds and stems removed

  • ½ cup malt vinegar

  • ½ cup white vinegar

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup dark rum

  • 2 tbsp fish sauce

  • ½ cup dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp sea salt

Method

  1. 1. Heat the butter in a large saucepan and fry onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes until the fruit has softened. Purée the sauce in batches to a smooth consistency.

    2. This can be bottled as is, but if you want a more concentrated flavour, return the puréed sauce to a saucepan and simmer, stirring regularly, for another 30 minutes, until thickened. Transfer to clean, sterilised jars or bottles. Label them and they're ready to give away as gifts.
