Yield: 1 Jar
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce from a 7-ounce can
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup packed Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Remove the chipotle peppers from the can, reserving the adobo sauce.
- Finely chop peppers, removing seeds for less heat if desired.
- Place a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add all ingredients - chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder and apple cider vinegar. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until the glaze slightly thickens and the sugar fully dissolves.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Use immediately as a glaze for grilled chicken, shrimp, salmon or even roasted vegetables.
- Alternatively, cool completely, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Reheat gently before using.
