Instructions

1. Roughly chop the tomatoes, onions and garlic. Heat the vinegar in a saucepan and dissolve the sugar in it. Then add all the other ingredients and let everything simmer for 1 hour with the lid closed. After the cooking time, take out the chiles, peel and remove the stems. Strain the sauce thoroughly through a fine sieve, add the chiles again and let the whole thing boil down a little. The sauce shouldn`t get too thick, however, as the chiles will still draw liquid and the sauce will thicken a little by itself. Pour the finished product into a 400 ml sterile jar and close it. The chiles should now soak in the Adobo sauce for at least a week before they can be used.
2. Chipotles en Adobo are very versatile. You can use it to flavor stews of all kinds with a smoky, piquant taste or to make marinades for salads and grilled meat. If you like it really fiery, you can also snack on it or use the sauce as a dip.
3. Keeps for a long time in the refrigerator.
