How to Make Raspberry Chipotle Bbq Sauce

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup bottled BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup raspberry preserves, 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped, adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter sauce.
  3. Brush generously onto your favorite grilled meat (ribs, chicken, etc.) during the last 15-20 minutes of grilling, basting frequently for maximum flavor.
  4. (Optional) For extra tender ribs: Pre-cook ribs in a roaster oven at 275°F (135°C) for approximately 2 hours before grilling.
