Green Apple Chipotle Salsa

• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 Large yellow onion, diced small
• 6 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and chopped
• 2 canned chipotle peppers
• 1 Tbsp white vinegar
• 1 Tbsp ground cumin
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp molasses
• 2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
• salt and pepper to taste

In a large saute pan, heat the oil until hot but not smoking, add the onion, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the apples, cover and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for an additional 8 minutes, or until the apples are a bit soft on the exterior. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, combine the chipotles and vinegar in a blender or food processor and puree. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl, add the cumin, lemon juice, molasses, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Add the apples and onions to the chipotle mixture and stir well. Allow to sit in the refrigerator, covered, overnight or for at least 2 hours.
