CHIPOTLE KETCHUP

1 med. sweet onion
1 T olive oil
28 oz can whole tomatoes, or fresh from the garden (skinned)
1/2 C apple cider vinegar
1/4 C brown sugar
1 t molasses, or honey
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t ground cloves
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
salt to taste

On medium low heat cook onion in olive oil until tender and slightly brown.
Add tomatoes and their juices, crushing tomatoes. I used a potato masher.
Stir in the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
After an hour puree the mixture, then continue to cook on low until desired thickness.

This was awesome...but a little spicy for me, so I added 1 C regular ketchup at the end.

Makes about 1 pint, refrigerate after cooling.
I got the recipe from "Homesick Texan", lots of good ideas...I hope you like spicy!


Kenneth likes mustard, me, not so much...but, this looks interesting
