Notes
Note: This sauce is slightly spicy, so if you are not a huge fan of spice, I would recommend starting with 1 chipotle pepper (you may even want to remove the seeds from the pepper before adding it). If you find this recipe to be too spicy, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey or a few tablespoons of ketchup.
