Directions: |
Directions:Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until brown. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. (Caution, the chipotles are hot. Handle with care. A full 7 oz. portion produces a sauce that is an 8 out of 10 on the “heat” scale. Use half a can or less if you aren’t sure how much heat your guests can tolerate.). Then reduce to low and simmer uncovered, until thickened, 2 to 2 ½ hours, stirring frequently. Puree this sauce using a hand blender, or food processer. This sauce is delicious on pork, beef and chicken. Keep refrigerated for 2-3 weeks or frozen for 2-3 months. Sauce should only be added at the very last of grilling, otherwise, the sweeteners will burn. Serve additional sauce as a side to chicken, ribs, brisket, road kill or truck tires…. Variations: Asian – Add to taste - fresh ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, drizzle of toasted sesame oil. Caribbean – Add to taste - pineapple juice, dark rum, Caribbean hot sauce, pinch of allspice. |
