ChileBuzz -- This recipe has been modified only slightly from the one I pulled out of "The Great Chile Book" by Mark Miller many, many years ago. I've included proportions for chipotles, but other smoked chiles will work -- substitute an equal amount of other chiles by weight (or by volume), but not by number. Chipotles en Adobo 40 chipotles 1 large yellow onion, sliced 1 head garlic, peeled and sliced 1.25 cups cider vinegar 1 cup ketchup 2 tsp. kosher salt 1 tsp. smoked habanero powder 0.5 tsp. ground cumin 3 quarts water Combine everything and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours. You should have 4 to 5 cups of liquid remaining and the chiles will be very soft. If you use table salt rather than kosher salt, cut the amount in half. Also, if you want chipotle puree, just put a couple of scoops in the blender -- onions, garlic, seeds, and all. This stuff keeps in the refrigerator for a few months. I've never tried to can it.
