With a food processor running, drop in the garlic cloves and process until finely minced

Add the onion and chipotle chilies with some of the adobo sauce

Pulse to finely chop

Add the honey, lime juice and salt, then puree

Use immediately or cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Yield: 3/4 cup SUGGESTED USE: Chipotle chilies are jalapeno chilies which have been smoked, not just dried

A relatively mild jalapeno transforms into a very spicy chili indeed

The adobo sauce is a barbecue sauce

The smoky flavor of the chilies in contrast to the sweet of the honey makes this paste a real treat

Smear it on steak (2 to 3 hours), London broil (4 to 6 hours), tuna steaks (2 hours) or even chicken breasts (2 hours).
