    Raspberry Chipotle Ketchup

    Jump to Recipe Pin

    This Raspberry Chipotle Ketchup is smoky, spicy, and a little tart. It is thick and chunky - perfect for a veggie burger or fries.

    I recently started making my own BBQ Sauce, so making a Raspberry Chipotle Ketchup seemed like a next logical step.

    I always have chipotle in adobo sauce and chipotle powder in my pantry. I love to pair it with something sweet like maple syrup. I used that combination with my Maple Chipotle Cashews and my Maple Chipotle Black Bean Lettuce Wraps with Mango Salsa. Both recipes are sweet and spicy - my favorite flavor combination!

    To be honest, I don't know if I would use chipotle peppers as much as I do if it weren't for the fact that I live in Tucson. Yes, I love all things spicy, but I think that living here has definitely influenced how I cook. Mexican cuisine is one of my favorite things to eat, so it works out nicely living so close to the Mexican border.

    This ketchup is smoky, spicy, and a little tart from the raspberries. It has a mild sweetness, depending upon how sweet your raspberries are, and some more sweetness from agave syrup.

    Chipotles give this ketchup it's smoky and spicy flavor. If you have never had them before, they are smoke-dried jalapeños, to give you an idea of their spice level.

    Not only do I love cooking in general, but I also love making my own condiments because I can control the ingredients. This is a topic that I have brought up before and will probably continue to bring up.

    Have you ever read the ingredients on your favorite products? Many foods have ingredients that I cannot pronounce and don't know what they are. I personally prefer to control what goes into my body.

    Being vegan for 18 years, I have read many labels. Being gluten free, it is vital that I read labels so that I don't get sick. Making my own condiments ensures that I am getting something that is not only vegan and gluten free, but healthy as well.

        I store it in the fridge. It lasts 5-7 days if you don't finish it first!

      I just dipped french fries in strawberry jam last night and it was amazing. This ketchup is a brilliant idea! (and way healthier than the jam I was using...)

        French fries dipped in strawberry jam sounds like a great idea! I could see adding in some vegan mayo and / or Dijon mustard as well - like the flavors in a Monte Cristo!

      I've never thought of adding fruit into ketchup before! What an awesome way to make it more summery.

        It adds a slightly sweet, tart flavor to the smoky spicy chipotle - so a good balance of flavors.

      I never thought to pair raspberries with chipotle but this looks delicious. I'm the same as you, since living in San Diego, my cooking has been greatly influenced by spicy peppers. I used to almost never buy salsa and now I constantly have several jars in my fridge haha!
