Berry sweet. Chipotle heat. No chill.

ChipotleBerry may sound sweet and innocent, but this berry has a chip on its shoulder. Fruity elderberry starts things off with a dark, jammy tang before smoky chipotle comes swaggering in with a slow-building kick. Garlic, cumin, and coriander bring the savory goods, while a touch of brown sugar helps everything caramelize into smoky-sweet, slightly sticky grill magic.

It’s fruity, smoky, savory, and just hot enough to remind you that this berry bites back.

Uses:

Rub it over chicken or beef before grilling or roasting, work it into burgers, sprinkle it over tacos, or stir a spoonful into chili when your usual recipe needs a little more attitude. Mix it with oil for a quick marinade or experiment with it on roasted vegetables and sweet potatoes, where that berry-meets-smoke combination really gets to show off.

Directions:

Rub generously onto chicken or beef before grilling or roasting, then let the heat do its thing. Stir into chili, sprinkle over tacos, or mix with a little oil for a smoky-sweet marinade. Rub it, roast it, grill it, or taco ’bout it.

Ingredients:

Elderberries, Chipotle Powder, Garlic Powder, Cumin, Coriander, and a Touch of Brown Sugar.
