Ingredients

  • tablespoon chipotles in adobo minced (from 1 medium chipotle)
  • 10 servings pepper black freshly ground
  • tablespoons apple cider vinegar 
  • 0.3 cup t brown sugar dark packed
  • medium garlic clove finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup catsup 
  • teaspoon kosher salt as needed plus more
  • 1.5 pounds nectarines yellow firm pitted ripe cut into 1-inch pieces
  • tablespoon vegetable oil 
  • 0.5 medium onion yellow

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • blender
  • kitchen towels

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the onion, chipotle, garlic, and measured salt. Season with pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the ketchup and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly darkened in color, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, and cook until the mixture is bubbling around the edges, about 5 minutes.Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the nectarines are completely softened and starting to fall apart, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a blender.
  6. Remove the small cap from the blender lid (the pour lid) and cover the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam to escape and prevents the lid from popping off). Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
