sweet heat barbecue sauce
I found this recipe a while ago. Originally, it used jalapenos or red chili peppers. I tried it again with chipotle peppers. That's the ticket. You can try many variations on this sauce: - Use honey or molasses in place of the brown sugar - Try different type of vinegar - Use more or less chipotles for a different heat level - Try replacing half the onion with diced sweet red peppers You can store the excess sauce for several weeks in the refrigerator or freeze for later use. See for yourself...
