Does any fruit say “summer” quite like peaches? Of course, they’re delicious plain, but why not try adding them to a quick Paleo BBQ sauce to get that summer goodness all over your dinner?
If it’s not quite summered weather where you are yet…well, maybe you can entice the warm weather over to your place with the smell drifting off your barbecue.
You don’t even need any pre-made BBQ sauce to make this, and with no tomatoes at all, this one would be a great recipe for anyone on the AIP who still wants to enjoy grilling season (just take out the chili powder to make it AIP friendly). It’s rare to find an AIP-friendly barbecue sauce, but this one really delivers.
This recipe doesn’t have much in the way of vegetables – why not serve it with some grilled zucchini or a potato salad if you’re feeling traditional summer foods (yes, white potatoes are Paleo)? Kids will like the sweetness, and grown-ups will appreciate the classic flavor and the easy clean-up and prep.
