Turn off heat, add remaining ingredients and stir. Remove from stove and pour into a plastic container and refrigerate for at least an hour before using.Makes 3 cups.
Smoky Sweet Chipotle BBQ SauceIn a sauce pan over medium heat, add the oil and onions and cook until the onions are softened and beginning to get translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. Simmer over low heat 20-30 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool at room temperature.

As you are pulling the meat, discard any fat you may come across. Place pulled pork in a pan.
