Smokey Chipotle Orange Barbecue Sauce

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients and puree in a food processor and blend until smooth. Bring to a boil in a tall saucepan, drop to a low simmer and cook, stirring often, until thick, about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Two chipotle make this lightly smokey and spicy. Use more if you like things spicy! Freeze the left over chipotle from the can in a covered ice cube tray or pressed flat in freezer safe plastic wrap for future use.

3. 3

   Freeze the left over fresh ginger washed, air dried, not peeled and cut into one inch pieces. When you need 2 tsps, just take out an inch, let it defrost in a small bowl and squeeze out the juice. Fantastic!

4. 4

   This is enough to cover one whole chicken or 2 baby back ribs with some sauce left over for those who want a little more -- .
