Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil, then sauté the garlic and onion until the onions are translucent. 
  • Add the chipotle peppers (and extra adobo sauce), water, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and salt. Continue simmering the sauce over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes. 
  • Remove the sauce from the stove, then using a hand blender or food processor, process the sauce until smooth. 
  • If the bbq sauce is too thin, place the sauce back in the saucepan and continue to simmer until it reaches your desired thickness. 

Notes

Two chipotle peppers provides a good amount of spiciness. If you prefer your sauce to be a little milder, but still plenty smoky, remove 1 of the chipotle peppers from the recipe and add extra smoked paprika which tends to be milder in heat.
