Chipotle Smoked Red Pepper Sauce Recipe

Chipotle Smoked Red Pepper Sauce

This sauce is adapted from one in Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill cookbook. The honey and chipotle puree make for a sweet/hot flavor that is very good. I used more oil than originally called for, increased the amount of onion and added mayonnaise to thicken the sauce slightly. It refrigerates well and can be used as a condiment on most anything. I used it as a garnish for a smoked pork tenderloin.
