This relish recipe is perfect for summer! Made with fresh peaches, sweet onion, and smokey chipotle peppers. It’s one sweet and spicy dip, perfect for topping grilled chicken, salmon, pork, or even tortilla chips! Quick to make, paleo friendly, and refined sugar free.

Memories of summer peaches

This Smokey Sweet Peach Relish recipe is gonna change your life ya’ll!

No really, there’s nothing better than fresh peaches in all the things. Am I right? But for me, peaches have a special place in my heart. Yes I just made a nostalgic correlation between peaches and my corny Cotter self.

You see, summer Peaches mean long road trips and stopping at every fruit stand along the way. Peaches, plums, watermelon, you name it and we bought it. Several hours and several fruit stands later, we would reach our destination, ready to embrace all that summer has to offer. Whether that be camping, hiking, snorkeling, etc. Ya, we were that family that drove everywhere.

Need a snack for that hike? Grab a peach. Need a refresher after that swim? Grab a peach. Need something to peg at your sibling. Grab a peach! Kidding. Kinda. But I think you get my point here friends. Peaches make summer… SUMMER!

So this Honey Chipotle Peach Relish is my new summer love. Spicy, smokey, sweet, and great on just about everything, even just on avocado toast!  See, you’re thinking that sounds good now too right?

Now, I must confess. The relish recipe has been made 3 times in the past month, and each time it turned out differently. All good though. Just a different depth of flavor. Super tasters, you understand this, right?

RELISH RECIPE INGREDIENTS

When I make peach relish, I use 3 peaches, raw honey, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and onion. I use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to make these chicken burgers, too. You can’t beat the extra saucy, smokey flavor.

Let’s talk onion. Both red onion or sweet onion taste great in this peach relish, but…. GAH.. that sweet onion! It’s just perfect and won’t leave your breathe extra potent. You get my point! This peach relish is kissable friendly. Mwah!

How do you make Honey Chipotle Peach Relish?

Simple.

  1. Dice your peaches.
  2. Add them to a small pot.
  3. Add honey, apple cider vinegar, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

  1. Simmer for 15 minutes, then add the onion and salt.
  2. Simmer again. Let cool. Add a splash of lime. Then make into a “relish” texture.
  3. Yep, for that relish texture, just pulse again in food processor.

OR…

For “peach salsa” texture, just do what I did, the second time making this. Finely chopped the peppers and peaches again then added fresh cilantro and lime after. The texture turns out  thick, chunky, delish!

Description

Honey Chipotle Peach Relish made with summer peaches, sweet onion, and smokey chipotle peppers. It’s one sweet and spicy dip perfect topping for grilled chicken, salmon, pork chops, or even tortilla chips!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium peaches, diced
  • 2 chipotles in adobo sauce (canned)- (see notes for substitutes)
  • 1/3 cup honey (vegan may use agave or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 c Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 small sweet onion, chopped. (Red onion may be substituted)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Cilantro to garnish
  • Fresh Lime to garnish

Instructions

  1. Core and Dice your peaches. Place them in a medium pot. Stir in 3 chipotle peppers with the adobo sauce, honey, vinegar, and salt.
  2. Briskly simmer, uncovered. The juices will thicken after 15 minutes.
  3. After 15 minutes, stir in your chopped onion, salt, and simmer again for an additional 10 minutes.
  4. Remove and let cool. Relish will thicken more as it cools.
  5. Once cooled, process into a relish texture. Place content into a food processor or blender and Pulse a few times to mix and dice peaches and chipotles into smaller pieces. The more you blend, the thinner the texture. For thicker peach relish, skip the food processor and just make sure all your fresh ingredients are finely chopped before cooking.
  6. Store for 10 days in sealed container.
  7. Serve with fresh cilantro and splash of lime. Great on grilled meats, seafood, or with tortilla chips alone.

Notes

  • If you don’t have chipotle peppers, you can use canned green chiles or fresh jalapeño! Just 2 ounces or so.

    This recipe is great. I had this as a relish option for the brats at our cookout this weekend and I think someone might have actually licked the bowl clean! Definitely the one thing they were all talking about at the cookout. (full disclosure – I added some some small garden jalapenos too)

    Goodness it’s difficult to choose just one favorite summer food! Definitely love summer fresh berries and peaches though. I’ve never made homemade peach salsa/relish before…but can’t wait to try this over grilled salmon, chicken, or turkey burgers!

    This GEORGIA PEACH approves. 😉

    (Also, I have totally pegged my sister with a peach before.)

      haha of course you’d peg your sister. That’s natural from a Georgia Peach, right?
