Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 c small diced onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp chipotle chilies in adobo, chopped
2 pt fresh raspberried, rinsed
1/2 c raspberry vineger
3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

1. In a medium saucepan heat oil over med-high heat.
2. Add the onions and cook, stirring , until soft and slightly carmelized. About 4 min.
3. Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute.
4. Add the chipotle chiles and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
5. Add the raspberries and cook until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Add the vinegar and mix to deglaze the pan.
7. Add the sugar and salt , and bring to a boil
8. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened and reduced to about half...8 to 10 minutes...Remove from the heat and cool before serving.
9. This can be used as a BBQ sauce or basting sauce for shrimp, poultry or meat. Pour over a block of cream cheese and serve as a dip with club crackers...so good !! Or can be used as a sauce for meatballs or cocktail sausages as a appetizer. Good in wraps too !!
10. I have substituted Jalepeno peppers for the onion...also used apple cider vinegar instead of raspberry...and tried it with brown sugar. These changes worked to make a delicious recipe even better !!!!!!!!
