COOK’S NOTES: It’s important to keep a relatively high level of acidity in sauces like these that are made to store, as this will extend their refrigeration life. You can find chipotle chillies in adobo sauce in many supermarkets, delis and via online retailers. This WILD MAN SAUCE can be stored in a cool dark place for up to 2 months, and should be refrigerated after opening and used with a 2 weeks.
