Maple-Chipotle BBQ Sauce

This is a great BBQ sauce.  It is good on all meats and I have even tried it on tofu.  I hope you enjoy this sauce as much as I do.  Enjoy!


Makes: about 1 cup

Ingredients:  

1 T. vegetable oil
1 medium sized onion, minced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 large canned chipotles packed in adobo, pureed and pushed a fin-mesh sieve
1/4 c. ketchup
1/4 c. pure maple syrup
1 c. low-sodium chicken broth
1/8 t. ground allspice
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 T. fresh lemon juice

Instruction:

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering.  Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.  Stir in the chipotles, ketchup, maple syrup, broth, and allspice, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer over low heat until thickened and glossy, about 20 minutes.  Stir in lemon juice.  Sauce will keep for 1 month in a tightly covered jar, refrigerated. 

Note:  to find chipotles in adobo sauce (in a can), check the Mexican food section in your local grocery store.
