Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium yellow onion coarsely chopped
3 large cloves garlic coarsely chopped
1 cup ketchup
⅓ cup water
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
⅛ teaspoon ground chipotle powder
1½ tablespoons ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon molasses
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Place a heavy-bottomed nonreactive saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Once heated, add the oil. When oil is shimmering, stir in the onion and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes - do not let it brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Stir in the ketchup and water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire, chipotle powder, ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, honey, and molasses, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 10 minutes, or until thickened.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth - or very carefully use an immersion blender, and blend right in the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Use right away. Or transfer to a jar or other container and cover tightly, then store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
