Meakin’s Famous Smoked Chipotles in Adobo Sauce Aioli

From My Carolina Kitchen, recipe by Meakin Hoffer

¼ cup Hellman’s mayonnaise, or homemade mayonnaise (no Miracle Whip)

½ cup sour cream, we use low-fat

1 teaspoon or more pureed chipotles in adobo sauce

Pinch of kosher salt

Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

¼ teaspoon honey

Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl and taste for seasonings. Too much honey will make it sweet & ruin it. The purpose of the honey is to temper the fire from the chipotles in adobo sauce. You should not be able to taste the honey. The finished sauce should have a nice, smoky flavor. The sauce will keep covered in the refrigerator for several days.
