This sauce rocks! I blend it up and put it in a squeeze bottle. It is now a staple in my fridge. I put it on lots of things, tonight it is going to be mixed with a little sour cream and used as a pizza sauce for my pulled pork (Recipe #426274) pizza. It improves with age, after a couple of weeks in the fridge it mellows as the vinegar punch diminishes and the flavors combine. a+ ******

This is a good sauce. IMHO....if you want a good Adobo sauce, add equal amounts of soy sauce to ketchup. Really makes a difference!!

OK - had 25 jalapenos smoked using Recipe#182969. Used this recipe & used an additional 1/2 - 2/3 cup leftover tomato sauce I incorporated after tasting & getting a little overpowered by the sweetness of the sauce. The tomato sauce evened it out &, my oh my, is this ever delicious! Plan to freeze about 1/2 & keep the rest in the coldest part of the fridge for easy dolloping. Good stuff Rita! Thanks for posting - going into our keeper file.

We used dried chili peppers because we have a huge bag of them we got from the farmer's market. We stemmed and seeded about 20 of them for this recipe. We had to take a photo of it on our stovetop because of the wonderful color and the alluring aroma! (ok, you can't smell it but it smells great)! We used it to make Recipe #230921 which we put on chopped sirloin steaks. For those that like heat, this is a wonderful sauce!
