Thanks to the jam, the sauce has a bit of a glazing effect, which makes it perfect for basting.

This apricot barbecue sauce recipe is a great addition to your grilling repertoire! Use this versatile sauce in so many ways! Here are a few ideas:

• As a basting sauce when grilling chicken breasts or grilling chicken thighs
• As a sauce for air fried chicken wings

Can I use fresh apricots for this recipe?

If you have an abundance of apricots, yes, you can absolutely use them for this recipe! Cook down about 3 cups of peeled, fresh apricots, drain, then mash with a potato masher or run the cooked apricots through a food processor. You will need to add additional sugar to compensate for the lack of sugar in the jam. I like to do this at the end, to taste, ¼ cup at a time.

Storage

Store this homemade BBQ sauce in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.
