Thats right. You heard me. Raspberry and Chipotle mixed together to create magic in your mouth. I know it sounds a little strange but the spicy and smoky tasting chipotles work really well with the sweet raspberries to come together to make a terrific sauce. AND, it’ss really quite simple to throw together too.
The first time I made this stuff, it was WAY too hot for me…..and my husband…..and my in-laws. Funny that I tested that recipe on them, not thinking it would be as hot as it was. Oops. But I made it again with success. Just the right amount of heat and sweet. I have totally fallen in love with this stuff. I love it on burgers, I love it with chicken and today, we were dipping grilled cheese sandwiches in it too!
Of course you can increase or decrease the heat level with the amount of chipotles you add. This recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of chipotles in adobo that are chopped. For me, that’s the perfect amount. Taste it and add more to your discretion and if you dare! Chipotles are spicy little devils.
Again, this sauce is delicious with anything and everything! Give it a whirl and tell me what you think!
*As a side note, I will be posting a special blog post with a new recipe tomorrow, so be sure to come back and see!*

Fabulous sauce; loved it! Never would have thought to mix them up but that's what you're for…and we get to be the guinea pigs! BTW, glad you got a photo; I forgot that John told me to send you one/some!
