How to Make Beso Bbq Sauce

1. Place 1 pound dried chilies in a saucepan, cover with water, and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes.
2. Drain the chilies, let them cool, discard the stems, and roughly chop them.
3. Set the chopped chilies aside.
4. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced), and 1 large apple (cored and diced).
6. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Stir in 1/2 cup tomato paste, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup molasses, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped), 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped), 2 teaspoons salt, and the reserved chopped chilies.
8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat and stir in 1 cup of ice to help cool the sauce and prevent scorching.
9. Once slightly cooled, carefully puree the sauce in a blender in batches until smooth.
10. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for a smoother consistency).
11. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
