Raspberry-Chipotle sauce is a sweet and tangy sauce with a touch of smoky and spicy flavors. This sauce is commonly used in Tex-Mex dishes as a dipping sauce, topping, or marinade for meats like pork and chicken. The raspberry in the sauce provides a natural sweetness with the spice and depth from the adobo sauce, making it a versatile sauce that can elevate the flavor of many dishes. Although the sweet raspberry preserves aren't the healthiest ingredient, the combination of flavors can make even simple meals more exciting.

Instructions

1.	In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry preserves, adobo sauce, and reserved marinade.
2.	Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until the preserves have melted and the sauce is smooth.
3.	Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.	Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

PROS

This sauce is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy that can enhance the flavor of many dishes.

It’s quick and easy to make, and can be stored in the refrigerator for future use.

CONS

The adobo sauce can be quite spicy, so the amount used should be adjusted according to personal preference.

Due to the sugar content in raspberry preserves, this sauce is not suitable for people who are watching their sugar intake.

HEALTH & BENEFITS
