This Raspberry Chipotle Sauce has a little sweet from the raspberries and just a little heat from the chilies. It is perfect served with chicken or fish and over cream cheese with crackers.

What is Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce?

If you are looking to change up your basic BBQ sauce this raspberry chipotle BBQ sauce is it! It has the perfect combination of sweet and heat. You can control the amount of heat by how much chipotle chiles you add in. I like just a little heat so use just the sauce. If you want more heat, add in some of the actual chilies.

What are Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce?

Chipotle chilis are smoke-dried jalapeño peppers. They have a smoky flavor that makes them a great choice for a barbecue sauce. They are found on the Mexican aisle and can be bought in a can or jar.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it last?

Stored in the refrigerator, it will last for up to two weeks. It can also be frozen for up to three months.

Can I make it less spicy?

To make it less spicy, add in less of the adobo sauce and the serrano pepper.

Can I use frozen raspberries?

You can, just be sure and thaw them and drain them first.

Can I use a different kind of berry?

Absolutely, I think it would be delicious made with blueberries or a combination of berries.

    Can this sauce be preserved by canning?

      I have never done but I am sure it could. I would check with an extension service to see how long to can it for.

    Can you use tropical fruit…?
    Would this pair with fried sticky rice mango balls…!

      I have only made it with raspberries but other fruit should work.

    I found this recipe because I was looking for a sauce to pair with Amylu Cranberry Jalapeño Chicken Meatballs I just bought at Costco. I looked for a recipe on the Amylu website & they recommended using a raspberry chipotle sauce. At first, I thought I’d just buy the sauce at the store but couldn’t find it anywhere. Luckily, I found this recipe online. This sauce did not disappoint – it was exactly what I was looking for.

    What do you think about using frozen berries and/or a mix of other berries instead of fresh raspberries?

      I think either word work great – just drain the berries if using frozen. Enjoy!

    Delicious, but not nearly as thick or spicy as I’d hoped.
    I use sauce on turkey burgers as condiment with mayo and dijon mustard. The two are the most complimentary to each other (mustard & rasp.).
    I love these combined…!
