I started off with some ripe tomatoes from my garden, expecting to make Stewed Tomatoes...instead, they wanted to be Barbecue Sauce. This recipe packs some heat, but it's still sweet.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 can(s) stewed tomatoes
1 can(s) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
12 - whole, dried cloves
3-4 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1 tablespoon(s) nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon(s) allspice, ground or 4 whole
2-3 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup(s) blackstrap molasses or honey
2 teaspoon(s) onion powder

Steps:

  • Take the stewed tomatoes, and cook them down (over medium heat) until they release most of their liquid in a large sauce pan (or dutch oven), remove solids and return liquids to pan.
  • Add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (if you prefer less heat in your sauce, use 1/4-1/2 can). Continue to simmer, adding spices.
  • Slowly add sugar and honey/molasses stirring occasionally.
  • Simmer sauce over low to medium heat for as long as necessary to thicken to a sauce, allowing extra liquids to cook off.
  • Store refrigerated until use.
