How to Make Chipotles In Adobo Bbq Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon cumin, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring to a regular blender), blend the sauce until smooth. If using a regular blender, vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or cayenne pepper for heat.
  5. Pour the sauce into sterilized jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  6. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chipotle In Adobo BBQ Sauce on all your favorite grilled meats and vegetables!
