Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice
- 1 cup Tomato ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 whole Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, tomato ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Once thickened, transfer the sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Be cautious as the sauce will be hot.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, honey, or chipotle peppers for spiciness if desired.
Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container or jar. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Use this Pomegranate Chipotle BBQ Sauce as a marinade, glaze, or dip for your favorite grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful condiment.
