1 cup catsup
¼ cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced

Non-stick cooking spray
3 tablespoons molasses or sorghum
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Preparation:
Remove the stems from the chipotle peppers and place them with the adobo sauce in a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
