This is a devilishly hot sauce with great depth and versatility. It's very easy to make and it makes a lot -- you could halve the recipe if you don't need much. Be sure to remove any seeds from your chipotle peppers first. If you wanted a sweet version, consider just adding smoked paprika and no peppers. I served this ketchup with a grassfed steak, grilled using a dry rub. It would be a welcome variation from plain old ketchup for sweet potato fries and I think it will work very well with chicken -- among many other possibilities! – Sagegreen

Congrats adamnsvetcooking on your ep! I love this recipe and find myself craving it. I did make a milder version, which is really super with sweet potato fries. And my son has requested the hotter version!

My son still raves about this recipe! It is the only ketchup he wants now. Even though things are crazy busy right now, I am going to find the time to make more.

Since I was fresh out of chipotle in adobo, I resorted to a major variation with this recipe using fresh ginger and calvados instead: You have inspired me to work with applesauce and ketchup further! Such a great combination.

I made this yesterday and had it with steak, and it was wonderful....tonight we had it with sweet potato fries and it was really, truly great together! My son took some home with him because he loved it so much! I don't think we will want regular ketchup again after this.
