Why make your own barbecue sauce? This sweet, smoky, spice cherry chipotle barbecue sauce is one mouthwatering reason.   

Ingredients

• 2 cups cherries, washed and pitted
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoon smoked sea salt
• 2/3 cups canned diced tomatoes with chilies
• 1/4 cup canned chipotle sauce
• 1/3 cup turbinado sugar

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until well combined and transfer to a saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, on medium heat for about 60 minutes until sauce is reduced by half, or reaches desired thickness.

Serving Suggestion

Take advantage of in-season fresh cherries and make a double batch of this slightly sweet, slightly spicy sauce. Serve with barbecued chicken, pork or burgers, or drizzle over smoky marinated tofu steaks.
