Chipotle-Nectarine Barbecue Sauce Recipe
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, medium dice
- 1 tablespoon minced chipotles in adobo sauce (from about 1 medium chipotle)
- 1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 6 ripe but firm yellow nectarines (about 1 1/2 pounds), pitted and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the onion, chipotle, garlic, and measured salt.
- Season with pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ketchup and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly darkened in color, about 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, and cook until the mixture is bubbling around the edges, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the nectarines are completely softened and starting to fall apart, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender.
- Remove the small cap from the blender lid (the pour lid) and cover the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam to escape and prevents the lid from popping off).
- Blend until smooth.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
