Mango Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

I have a favorite brand of barbecue that has many different flavors to choose from. So, I never really thought about making my own. But thanks to Pinterest I can now say I have made my own barbecue sauce and it was delicious. 

Mango Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1/4 fresh mango, peeled and chopped
• splash of water
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon chipotles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions:

1. In a blender add in the mango and a splash or two of water.
2. Puree until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach a smooth consistency.
3. Transfer puree into a medium saucepan.
4. To the saucepan, add in the ketchup, chipotle peppers, garlic, vinegar, molasses and brown sugar.
5. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and thickened a little bit.
6. Brush sauce on chicken and cook your desired way.
7. Baste the chicken with any remaining sauce while it is cooking.

Enjoy!!!

Notes:

This will make enough sauce for about 4 chicken breasts. You can easily double, triple or even quadruple the recipe.
