3 tbl butter
½ pint of fresh raspberries
1 kiwi cut into pieces
1 banana cut into pieces
½ blood orange juice & pulp
2 tbl fresh lemon and lime juice
1 tsp each of fresh lemon, lime, and blood orange zest
¼ cup bourbon
¼ cup agave (more if you prefer it sweeter)
½ tsp chipotle flakes (more if you want more Zing! You can substitute red pepper flakes)

Melt butter over medium heat and add all the fresh fruits, juices and zest. Blend. Add bourbon, turn up heat to sizzle for about 3 minutes. Add agave and chipotle flakes, simmer until the mixture reduces & thickens slightly. Turn off heat, cover and just let it sit. You can serve warm or cold. Refrigerate. Use as a sauce for lots of dishes from desserts and meats, like pork chops and turkey, to toast! A littl’ dollop will do ya!

This recipe actually came as a result of ARFs (Almost Rotten Fruits) that were on my kitchen counter. I did not want to throw them out (I'm from the hollers of southern WV and we were very frugal and resourceful growing up!) and figured I'd have to re-invent them to give them new life! This stuff is addictive and, oh, so tasty!
