- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 peach peeled, pitted and chopped, large
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- ½ cup bourbon

- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika Spanish
- salt to taste

Instructions
- Heat a large pot to medium heat and add butter. Melt and add onion and peppers. Cook about 4-5 minutes to soften.
- Add garlic and stir. Cook another minute until you can smell that awesome garlic.

- Bring the whole thing to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until thickened.
- Transfer to a food processor and process to your desired level of thickness, either chunky or nicely pureed. You can also strain it at this point through a sieve for an even finer sauce.
