1. Preheat broiler to high with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Place tomatoes, onion and garlic on a broiler pan; broil for 8 minutes or until mostly blackened, turning occasionally. Peel tomatoes; discard peels. Place tomatoes in a blender. Add onion mixture, including juices, to blender. Add chipotle, salt and sugar; cover with blender lid, and let mixture stand 5 minutes.
