This can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. (B) [substeps] Do not over puree the sauce. The stain of the maillard sauce will prevent it from adequately processing. (C) [substeps] Do not drain the adobo sauce from the chipotle chiles before adding them. You should pour the sauce into the blender along with the chiles.
