Chicaoji Chipotle Chile Sauce is based on the flavor combination of the goji berry and cacao. Gogi berries are a nourishing and delicious fruit very high in antioxidants. Cacao is the seed of the plant used to make chocolate. These ingredients are raw thus retaining the nutritive value that cooking would diminish.

I add to this combination a little bit of chipotle heat. Chipotles are smoked jalapeno chilies. Chipotle is the only ingredient in Chicaoji that is not technically “raw” although it is only heated to 165 degrees F. in the smoking process. The purpose of the chipotle is to add a little bit of chile heat and smoky aroma. The heat is an accent to the main flavor of the cacao and goji. Many people who never eat spicy foods eat Chicaoji with every meal.

A sauce needs liquid so I selected Bragg's raw apple cider vinegar with the Mother of Vinegar. The Mother of Vinegar refers to a complex of microorganisms that transform the sugars of the apple fruit into vinegar. The benefit of this living nourishment is the main reason I stuck with keeping Chicaoji raw. Apple cider vinegar has been used for many centuries for a variety of healthy purposes. (www.bragg.com has much information on this topic).

Vinegar is rather tart so I chose agave nectar for a little sweetness. The agave I use is grown in the highlands of central Mexico by a cooperative of indigenous farmers. It is similar to your aloe plant but with serious thorns. Agave produces a stalk that grows out of the middle of its whorl of gnarly rigid “leaves”. The stalk is cut off and the “nectar” gathered by hand. The same plant can be harvested for years. Agave nectar registers very low on the glycemic index. (Check out www.madhavahoney.com/agave.htm)

Salt seems to balance flavors in some mysterious way so I looked for the best salt I could find. I chose Celtic Sea Salt™ based on the advice of someone whose judgment I trust. Turns out it is really good. It comes from the coast of France which is frankly insane considering I live on an island in the Pacific Ocean but there you have it. (www.celticseasalt.com)

Salt and the others clamored for Water so I put some into the mix.

There you have it: Chicaoji Chipotle Chile Sauce. All the ingredients are certified organic and kosher. It tastes good on almost any food. Children like it. People who normally do not like spicy foods like it. Most of the people who try it seem to like it. People stop me on the street to tell me their entire family really likes it. Cool thing is that it tastes good and is good for you (unless you are allergic or whatever to its ingredients, of course).
