Bonnies Raspberry Chipotle Appetizer Recipes

BONNIE'S RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE APPETIZER

Steps:

• 1. If you are at home and it is just the two of you, you can put the raspberrry chipotle sauce and the cream cheese in two separate small dipping bowls, and then dip into the bowls with the crackers.
• 2. However, for a party or guests, I like to make it look a little fancy, and I make the appetizers ahead. They look so pretty on a serving tray. (I bought the crackers and the sauce at Costco) Choose a large platter or tray for serving. Take a Crunchmaster multi-seed cracker and top it with a teaspoon or more of whipped cream. Now top it with a dollop of Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and place it on the platter. That's it! How simple is that?
• 3. Here is how it looks! Enjoy!

RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in jalapenos; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic, and adobo sauce; bring to a simmer. Stir the raspberries into the sauce; cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, salt, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix well. Simmer until thickened and reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Transfer sauce to a heatproof bowl; allow to cool to room temperature before serving, about 20 minutes.
