Ingredients

• 4-8 medium chipotle chiles in adobo (1/4-1/2 cup)*
• 5 cloves of garlic, peeled and cut into small pieces or mashed
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup water or broth, depending on thickness desired in sauce as well as desired heat
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place chipotle chiles, along with sauce clinging to peppers, in a food processor.  Add balance of ingredients and puree until smooth.  Press puree through a mesh sieve to remove seeds and fiber.
