It's been a long time between posts, but it has been a busy summer. Needed to find some sort of sauce or glaze for a grilled chicken breast. Going through my files I came across Carol's recipe for Cherry Chipotle BBQ Glaze, surely she wouldn't lead me down the wrong path... yeah, right!
First and foremost, the glaze IS wonderful....
First and foremost, the glaze IS wonderful....
However, There were a few items in Carol's recipe that need clarification. Like, do NOT use a small saucepan, that is unless you want the glaze to be hovering close to the top of the pan. I can only imagine what would have happened if I had stuck the emulsion blender in that pan and turned on the blender! (I would have been cleaning glaze off the ceiling and me)
The other MINOR detail is the amount of chipotle peppers to use! Now I understand why "Grandma" was hesitant at times to dine on Carol's masterpieces. The recipe calls for a 1/4 cup..I forgot to read further where she said 2-3 seeded chipotles. I had a can of chipotles in adobo sauce, which I measured out 1/4 cup. That 1/4 cup probably held 5-6 chipotles (in various sizes) and am pretty sure NOW they were not seeded. Thankfully I taste-tested the glaze before I basted the chicken breasts with it. After about three glasses of water I toned it down with more ketchup and a little dab of sugar. It made it mild enough so I wasn't wheezing, choking and gasping for air any longer!
It is a great glaze, just be careful of the number of chipotles you use!
Thanks For Stopping By.....

OMG, I never used 5 or 6 chipotles! LOL! That would have killed grandma altogether :)
and how small is your small saucepan?
Dinner looks great.
Looks great Barb. I have tried a version of Carol's recipe. Had to improvise because I was missing some ingredient or another. But love the chipotles and the sweetness :-)
So happy for your clarifications :) I've been meaning to try this recipe too. It looks so delicious!
Barb, nice to see you are eating again! LOL Thanks for the tips on this wonderful recipe. It sounds very good!
Those chipotles in adoba sauce are killer hot and I like hot food. Whoa.
Looks and sounds really good. Would be equally good on some pork.
