This is a quick and easy way to prepare a nice, fruit-based barbecue sauce with a little heat. This sauce works really well on pork and chicken.
Ingredients
- 11/2 cups ketchup
- 3/4 cup raspberry preserves
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo (minced)
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
- In medium saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 20-30 seconds, or until it becomes fragrant. Add ketchup, raspberry preserves, and vinegar. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
- Add remaining ingredients to saucepan, reduce heat to low and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once sauce has cooked, remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes before using. If using a table sauce, let sauce cool for 30 minutes before serving.
