Honey Chipotle Barbecue Sauce


I was inspired to make this from a chain restaurant, Chili's. They have a honey chipotle sauce that is the best sauce I've had. They serve it on burgers, chicken sandwiches and even with French mix in with ketchup.

I've searched all the grocery stores in my area for a sauce like that but I couldn't find one and I don't like to go out for dinner that often.

When it comes to barbecue sauce there are several kinds from different regions:
Eastern North Carolina-Vinegar base with spices
South Carolina- Mustard base with vinegar and spices
Texas- Thin sauce for smoking or basting
Kansas City-Thick, sweet and smokey with a tomato or ketchup base
Alabama- Mayo base with vinegar and spices.
Where I live in Louisiana, we really don't have set flavor, base or spices in the barbecue sauce. Sauces that I've had are spicy because of Cajun influence and a little bit of other states combined.

Recipe
3 cups Tomato Sauce
3/4 cup Honey, I used local
1/3 cup Molasses or Cane Syrup
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Water
2 Teaspoons Chipotle Pepper
2 Teaspoons Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Dry Mustard
1 Teaspoon Paprika

On a medium heat, combine all ingredients together and bring to a rolling simmer for 20 minutes or until it reduce to half.  Let it cool completely before transferring into container or mason jar. Store in refrigerator.
