Why This Recipe Works

Using frozen peaches saves valuable time when making this simple, fruity sauce. A combination of white wine, sugar, and vinegar forms the base of the sauce while a few fresh thyme springs and some whole-grain mustard add freshness and a little kick. Simmering the sauce for half an hour helps soften the peaches and blend the flavors.
