Marius Johnston's Smoked Chipotles In Adobo Sauce - 2

Grrrrrgh!
Course : BBQ Sauce
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

10 medium chipotle peppers -- stemmed and slit
1/3 cup onion -- in 1/2 inch slices
5 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic -- sliced
4 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 teaspoon salt
 

Preparation:

[I cooked all the ingredients except the chipotles for 1 hour or so and then I added the chipotles and cooked for another 1/2 hour] Combine all of the ingredients in a pan with 3 cups of water. Cover and cook over very low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the chilies are very soft and the liquid has been reduced to 1 cup. [2 cups for me] This recipe will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight container. [I pureed my last batch - it is more convenient] For chipotle puree, place the cooked chipotles and sauce in a blender and puree. Put through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Makes 1 cup.
