Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup orange juice
2 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder optional, for additional heat

Instructions

Using a blender or food processor, process all ingredients until smooth. Add additional chipotle powder and/or cayenne pepper powder, to taste and heat preference. Stir well.
Use immediately as a marinade for grilled chicken or pork or as a dipper.

Notes

The cayenne pepper powder is optional, but it's the best option for adding heat without additional smokiness. Cayenne tends to be more subtle in flavor than the smokier, earthier chipotle powder. Plus, it's at minimum four times hotter, so a little goes a long way to adding some punch to the sauce.
