I recently started making my own BBQ Sauce, so making Raspberry Chipotle Ketchup seemed like the 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 on how sweet your raspberries are, and some more sweetness from agave syrup.
Chipotles give this ketchup its 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.

Looking to try this weekend! How do you store it and how long does it last?

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

I'm glad you like it, thanks Ann!
Ashley says
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...)
Willow Moon says
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!
Maggie Unzueta says

I've never thought of adding fruit into ketchup before! What an awesome way to make it more summery.
Willow Moon says
It adds a slightly sweet, tart flavor to the smoky spicy chipotle - so a good balance of flavors.
Rachel Ritlop says
Wow I've never tried something like this before, but it looks delicious!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Rachel! If you have ever had a BBQ sauce with fruit, it is kind of like that.
Deborah says
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!
Willow Moon says
Haha, me too! If not in the fridge, then in the pantry - although I prefer fresh!
