A homemade spicy chipotle ketchup made with clean ingredients you can only feel good about eating! Great on burgers or with baked fries.
Spicy Chipotle Ketchup
Spicy Chipotle KetchupLast summer I made my own homemade ketchup which turned out so GOOD, I made it again this year… with a twist! I added some chipotle paste to give it some heat which you can adjust to your liking. This goes so great with turkey burgers or grilled sweet potato fries!
Finally someone came up with a chipotle paste in a tube, perfect since I never use the whole can. The brand is Olo’s which I found on Amazon, but of course canned chipotle sauce will work fine here, you’ll have to mince the chipotles.
This is so EASY to make, just put a few ingredients in the sauce pan and let it simmer for 20 minutes. If you are planning on grilling this weekend and you like things a little spicy, give this a try!
What is Chipotle?
A chipotle is a ripe chile pepper originating from Mexico that is smoked and dried and ground. You can usually find this canned as a sauce like chipotles in adobo or as a paste. It’s perfect when you want to add a hot smokey flavor to any dish.

Can you just use Sriracha instead of the chipotle paste?
I am making a variant of this today, but this recipe was my template. I used 10oz tomato paste, and adjusted the ingredients by 1/3 to compensate. I used brown sugar instead of honey, apple cider vinegar instead of white, and pureed chipotle instead of paste. It's simmering now, and it smells so good. Going to dip homemade sweet potato fries tonight!
I mean, 8oz tomato paste…
How much does this make? I'm thinking of doing a batch to put in homemade Christmas gift baskets
The INGREDIENTS measurments would put this at about 1 cup and 6 oz. Just shy of a
1 and a 1/2 cups.
I am new to this site and and tried a few recipes all have been great. what does PP mean?
Points Plus.. glad you enjoyed the recipes.
Yes, I would think this can be canned, but this only makes a small quantity. One might want to double it to justify bringing out the canning equipment. When canning tomatoes you have to add lemon juice to increase the acidity to prevent botulism. With all the vinegar acidity should not be a problem.
Do you think this Chipotle Ketchup can be canned? It looks delicious!
I also buy the whole can of chipotles, and place each pepper on waxed paper on a cookie sheet, and freeze whole. Once frozen I pop them into a freezer bag and pull out as needed! This sounds really good!
Hi! I'm new(er) to cooking… I know. Silly, right? Anyway, quick question. How long would this recipe last in the refrigerator? Thanks!
I'm going to guess and say 2 weeks?
I would also like to know how long it will keep. Looks SO YUMMY!!
How long will this stay fresh?
I will have to try this , looks really healthy.

Hey there, love your blog! I saw you're going to be attending the Big Summer Potluck this July. It will be my first time attending and I'm looking forward to meeting you hopefully! xo
Yes! My first time too 🙂 Will look for you!
Sounds yummy. I wonder if one has chipotle pepper seasoning, http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyschipotle.html, how much one would add….
Can't wait to try this recipe. I just wanted to mention that I regularly buy canned chipotles in adobo sauce, in an 8oz can. What I always do is empty the whole can into the food processor and puree it. I then divvy it into FOUR 2oz condiment cups with lids (I find them at GFS – Gordon Food Service). I keep one of these cups in the fridge, then the others go in a Ziploc baggie in the freezer for later use. I mix the pureed chipotles into spicy brown mustard, into my egg salad, chicken salad, and spicy chipotle cole slaw. This method of pureeing/storing the chipotles works great for me.
Great idea!
Oh my gosh- GREAT idea! I always use one or two and then ending wasting the rest without meaning to! Thanks for the tip, Laura!
