Chipotle BBQ Sauce

 Slather this on top of Chicken or Ribs (Before or after grilling however you do it! I don't even want to touch that subject) for a great twist on a traditional BBQ sauce. A 'lil sweet and spicy never hurt anyone!

1 cup boiling water
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 12-oz. can tomato paste
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon Tobasco sauce

DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in a saucepan and add onion, garlic, cumin and thyme. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent. Add finely chop chipotle chilies and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
