Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 whole Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften and turn fragrant.
Add in the fresh raspberries, allowing them to cook down for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Stir in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Add water to the mixture and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have developed, remove it from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender (or transferring the sauce to a regular blender), puree the sauce until smooth. Be cautious with the warm liquid.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or honey for sweetness as needed.
Pour the sauce into a clean jar or container and let it cool completely before storing. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Use the Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce on grilled chicken, brushed over ribs, or as a dipping sauce for roasted vegetables.
