Ingredients
- 1 batch homemade adobo sauce (click link for recipe)
- 24 smoked chipotle peppers (click link for recipe)
Instructions
- Reconstitute the smoked chipotle peppers: Place the chipotles in a large bowl and pour boiling water over them until they are submerged. Let them sit until cooled. Then very thoroughly drain them to remove as much water as possible.
- Heat the adobo sauce in a large saucepan, add the drained reconstituted chipotle peppers, bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.Spoon the hot mixture into sterilized jars, close the lids, and let them cool completely. Transfer the jars to the fridge and let them rest for several days before using to give the chipotles time to absorb the sauce and allow all the flavors to meld. These DIY chipotle peppers in adobo sauce will keep in the fridge for at least a few weeks. Just check them periodically for any signs of mold or off odors. Alternatively they can also be frozen (see my "Storage" tips in the blog post above).
