Yield: 1 cup
Chipotle sauce
Having a jar of homemade sauce on hand that can act as a condiment, or a glaze, or a marinade can make rushed weeknight meals go much smoother. Chipotle peppers canned in adobo are the base for this simple sauce. These peppers are hot, and smokey and puree to a lovely thick sauce. If you’re using this as more of a glaze add a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup, the liquid makes it easier to spread and the extra sugar will caramelize on whatever you’re roasting.
