Ingredients
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice
- 1 cup Tomato ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 whole Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, tomato ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 2
Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Once thickened, transfer the sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Be cautious as the sauce will be hot.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, honey, or chipotle peppers for spiciness if desired.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container or jar. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Step 7
Use this Pomegranate Chipotle BBQ Sauce as a marinade, glaze, or dip for your favorite grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful condiment.
