Good morning!

Today I inadvertently deleted the name/address of the person who
requested a recipe for adobo sauce. When I went to one of my favorite
sites, Index of Sauces and Seasonings-Diana's kitchen, there was a very
simple recipe there, among recipes for many other wonderful sauces.

7-10 medium sized dried chipotle chiles stemmed and slit lengthwise
1/3 cup onion in 1/2" slices
5 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, sliced
4 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 teaspoon of salt


Combine all of the ingredients in a pan with 3 cups of water. Cover and
cook over low heat for 1-1.5 hour, until the chiles are very soft and
the liquid has been reduced to one cup.  This recipe will keep for
several weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

for chipotle puree, place the cooked chipotles and sauce ina blender and
puree. Put through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Makes 1 cup.

Diana credits this recipe to Mark Miller's book, _The Great Chile Book_
