Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoons chile powder
28 ounces tomatoes
12 ounces beer
1 cup hot tomato salsa
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 medium chipotles
2 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon liquid hickory smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
 

Preparation:

In a heavy 3 qt saucepan, over low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, for 10 minutes. Stir in the chili powder and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beer, salsa, catsup, sweetener, chipotles, adobo, vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke and salt. Cook partially covered, stirring once or twice, until the sauce has thickened slightly and is shiny, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature. If you prefer a smooth sauce, puree in food processor. Refrigerate for several weeks or freeze up to 3 mos. in serving-size containers.
