Homemade Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

Use this sauce to brush over chicken breasts, ribs, tofu, or as a simmer sauce for cooked beans. I use organic strained tomatoes from the company, Bionaturae. I like this product because it comes in a glass container thereby eliminating the use of the BPA-lined cans so often used for tomato products. Store any unused sauce in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 14 days or freeze for longer storage.

This sauce is easy to make, and tremendously tasty! It is sweet and tangy, and perfect for dishes such as barbecued meatballs. The first time I made it, I used ancho chili powder instead of chipotle because I prefer a milder taste.
