Chipotle Peach BBQ Sauce

Makes about 2 cups

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
½ tsp allspice
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)
¼ cup tomato sauce
3 ripe yellow peaches, peeled and diced (about 1 ½ cups)
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, roughly chopped

Directions:
Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and allspice and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, tomato sauce, chipotle and peaches and cook until the peaches become soft, about 10 minutes.

Transfer the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth.
