Strawberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce
Description
The sauce starts by sautéing diced sweet onion and minced garlic in olive oil to develop flavor. Fresh hulled strawberries and chopped chipotle chiles in adobo are then stirred in along with ketchup, tightly packed brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper. The mixture is brought to a boil, then simmered to blend flavors.
The sauce is pureed with an immersion blender until smooth, then simmered further to thicken. The final result features sweet strawberry notes balanced by smoky chipotle heat and the tang from ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. The sauce can be cooled and stored in the refrigerator for up to five days, perfect for glazing grilled meats, dipping, or adding a fruity smoky layer to barbecue dishes.
