Best Homemade Chipotle in Adobo Sauce

Begin by removing the stems from your chipotle peppers and place them in a large pot along with three cups of water.

Boil the peppers over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for an hour.

Add the vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, onion, and garlic to the pot and stir everything together.

Let everything simmer together on low heat for another hour.

After an hour, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the ingredients together until the sauce has a smooth consistency.

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Pour the sauce into the pan and add the salt and pepper.

Let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to an airtight container for storage.
