Ingredients:

30 cherries, fresh or frozen

1 c ketchup

7 oz can Chipotle peppers plus Adobe sauce

1 c apple cider vinegar

1/4 c sugar in the raw

2 tsp paprika

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked

1 tbsp molasses

4 cloves garlic, rough chopped

1 lime juiced and zested

Tools needed:

How to make it:

Wash and cut cherries in half and remove the pit if using fresh cherries.

Add the cherries, vinegar and chopped garlic to the stock pot. Bring vinegar to a simmer and continue to simmer for 10 minutes until cherries are soft.

Once cherries are soft, add the rest of the ingredients and bring back to a simmer. Simmer sauce for 30-40 minutes.

If using an immersion blender, blend the sauce until all broken down. If using a blender, allow sauce to cool slightly before blending.

Pour blended sauce into the fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl. Lightly press the sauce through the fine mesh strainer using the small ladle.

Allow sauce to cool and pour into a mason jar or other glass storage container.

Use within 2 weeks, keep stored in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
