Red Chile BBQ Sauce


 This is a chile BBQ sauce that has the flavor and aroma of red New Mexican
 chilis and the slight smokey - hot flavor of chipotles. Honey and malt
 extract is used for sweet-n-stickyness and cider vinager is used to balance
 the sweetness. 


  1bag (2oz) Freida's New Mex dried chiles
  1bag (1oz) freida's dried chipotles
  10 sun dried tomatoes
  3 cloves garlic
  1 med onion
  0.5 c chives (optional)
  2 tsp oregeno
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1 bottle of beer. (homebrewed is preferred)
  2 tsp salt
  1.75c cider vinager or white vinager
  0.5c soy sauce
  1c honey
  1c amber malt x-tract (or pale)
  1 tsp Real-lemon lemon juice
                  
  Rehydrate all the dried chipotles, tomatoes, and chiles. Discard the
  seeds. Then add it to all the ingredients above the dotted line. Puree 
  in a blender until the mixture is real smooth. Use some of the water 
  from the rehydration in the blender to do this. 

  Mix the puree and the remaining ingredients in an adequate pot. Boil for
  about 5 minutes then reduce heat to a simmer. The sauce is done when it
  clings nicely to a spoon or spatula without running off. Makes 3-4 10oz 
  bottles. (I use old BBQ bottles) Keep refrigerated.
   
  This sauce tastes great on chicken breast, steak, or any other BBQ food.
  **NOTE**
  This batch was not hot enough for me. Next time I will add 0.5oz dried
  habaneros to beef it up.                     ENJOY                    -RM-
