Dear Andrew, I've never made it, but here's a recipe. We can find chipotles in adobo sauce in many of our markets in small cans for about $1.50 (£1). Myron Chipotles in Adobo Sauce 7 to 10 medium-sized dried chipotle chilies -- stemmed and slit lengthwise 1/3 cup Onion -- 1/2-inch slices 5 tablespoons Cider vinegar 2 Cloves garlic -- sliced 4 tablespoons Ketchup 1/4 teaspoon Salt Combine all of the ingredients in a pan with 3 cups of water. Cover and cook over very low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the chilies are very soft and the liquid has been reduced to 1 cup. This recipe will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Andrew Healy wrote: > > >Why not puree a can of 'chipotles in adobo' and blend into a bottle of > >ketchup.
