Honey Chipotle Apples and Onions

Pickled apples and onions are an excellent condiment that can change the taste of many sandwiches, and is a great alternative to store bought items. While preparing a left-over barbeque rib sandwich I included chipotle, mustard, and local honey. It’s a great blend of flavors that goes well with pork, chicken, or ham, also good on pizza!

Ingredients
1 medium red onion peeled and sliced
1 medium apple peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tsp crushed chipotle with adobo sauce
2 tsp Dijon mustard
4 tsp local honey
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 large jalapeno cored and chopped crossways
½ cup apple juice
1 tbsp butter

In a small saucepan combine the onion, apple, jalapeno, mustard, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, honey, and chipotle. Mix well to combine, then bring to a boil and allow to simmer for about 12 minutes, until it reduces by about 40%.
Next add the butter and mix, then add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve or transfer to mason jar and store in the refrigerator for later.
Left over grilled plums can be added to this and works well if they are available.
