I have managed to save the strain of black raspberry that the family who owned our property before us paid a shitload of money to have hybridized and tailored to our growing conditions...  this is the first pint I have gotten in years and I want to make a sauce with them... I have tons more to go pick but I want to do something special with the first ones... any good raspberry hot sauce ideas?

If going for the sweeter route, roasted garlic and roasted or carmelized onions totally work!  I'd not go with fresh garlic or onions as it is too strong/sharp for the flavor it sounds like you are looking for.  But using roasted/carmelized garlic and onion...with restraint.....Oh YEA!

Sounds yummy. Would you use white or yellow onions... Im thinking yellows would be sweeter

I think basic yellow/browns are sweeter than whites.  But you could also kick it up with some Walla Walla Sweets or Vidalias!  More expensive, but if you only need 1-2 for a small batch, I'd go for it.
 
And since you are working with black raspberries, you could also consider purple/red onions.  They tend to get grey colored when cooked, but if using in a dark colored sauce, they could work better than yellow onions.
 
 
Also consider Shallots.  the flavor of both garlic and onion in one.  Definitely caramelized.....!

Thanks for the suggestions. Just for your future reference a chipotle chili is just a smoke dried over ripened jalepeno, not supposed to make them out of green ones tho for some reason...

Interesting. I know for a fact that they do make them out of both. One's called "Meco" and the other "Morita" but I can never remember which.

I wouldn't do that with the fruit version but it would definitely go with the Chipotle one.

Do they have a hollow core like a raspberry?  It's hard to tell from the pic.  looks like half hollow core like raspberry and a bit of a white core like a blackberry?  Do they have thorns?
