Pineapple Chipotle Marinade
Molasses adds a rich character to this spicy tropical marinade. Try it with beef, chicken, pork or shrimp.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Cider Vinegar
1/3 Cup Pineapple Juice Concentrate
2 Tablespoons Molasses
2 Tablespoons Chopped Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
2 Tablespoon Chipotle Olive Oil
2 Teaspoons Sea Salt
Directions:
Combine vinegar, pineapple juice concentrate, molasses, chipotles, oil and salt in a small bowl. Use 1/2 cup to marinate chicken, pork or shrimp. Reserve remaining marinade for basting.
Tips & Notes:
Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalapeņos packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for the small cans with the Mexican foods in large supermarkets. Once opened, they'll keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. You can also find them dried with other chiles or at melissas.com and ground in the spice section of many supermarkets. Those looking for an extra spicy kick can reduce the amount of pineapple juice and add additional Chipotle Olive Oil.
