Thanks so much for this. I am off to find out where to buy or how to make chipotle sauce since the link goes to nowhere. Not to worry, I'll figure it out. Planning to serve to friends on the patio this evening. A toast to you for sharing.

I forgot to add the chipotle to the recipe, thanks for the reminder! The recipe now includes it. I don't remember exactly how much we added, but a teaspoon is a good starting point. You can always add more for flavor/spice. Cheers!
