Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce
1 package dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup raspberry jelly that didn't set up*
4 cups ketchup
2 tsp. Worchestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp. dried, ground Chipotle powder (I used Penzey's brand.)
Heat through over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed pot, stirring constantly to blend. Don't let it boil because it makes a mess of the stove, LOL! Ladle into canning jars. Each batch made a scant 2 pints for me. It has a nice smokey after-taste but it isn't terribly hot. If you want it hotter, add more chipotle. Store in the fridge, or give them a hot water bath for 15 minutes or so to seal jars.
*I would assume you could use about a cup of seedless raspberry jelly. It'll all melt down together, anyway. I was just using up my non-jelling jelly so it wouldn't go to waste. :)
Charity Needlework sites
(Biased, I am afraid, towards knitting, but there is plenty here for crocheting and quilting, too)
Some of these are just patterns good for charity purposes. Some of these are sites to make things for military, some for preemies, and some for general those in need. One site donates things to Afghanistan.

Thank you! Late January/early February, I usually do an indoor picnic event. I'm looking forward to using your recipe. :)
