This sweet and smoky sauce combines fresh raspberries with chipotle peppers for a versatile condiment. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, tacos, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
1Place the raspberries, sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
3Add the minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt, cumin, and smoked paprika to the saucepan.
4Stir well to combine and continue simmering over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until the raspberries have broken down and the sauce thickens slightly.
5Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
6Pour the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl, pressing on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
7Discard the seeds and solids left in the strainer.
8Transfer the strained sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container and let it cool completely at room temperature for about 15 minutes before sealing.
Adjust the heat level by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers. For a smoother sauce, strain twice. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
