Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.33 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, and water over medium heat.
Finely chop the chipotle peppers or blend them in a food processor with the adobo sauce for a smoother texture. Add this mixture to the saucepan.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until it slightly thickens. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., more honey for sweetness or additional adobo sauce for more heat).
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly. Blend the sauce with an immersion blender or in a countertop blender for a smooth finish if desired.
Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy on your favorite grilled meats, veggies, or as a dipping sauce!
