Colorado  (Preparation of Dried Red Chile Pods)  The "ristras" that
decorate New Mexico's countryside in the fall are  strings of red
chiles sundrying for preservation and later use in  sauces.  All red
chile recipes are prepared from native grown chile. Canned,  red chile
powder available in the "spice section" of grocery stores  should not
be substituted. {Usually prepared chili, chili powders,  and salsas
contain a lot of ingredients that are not chile. Also,  different chile
peppers have different tastes. Only New Mexico chiles  taste like New
Mexico chiles. ed.] Temperature: 250F Roasting Time:  Approximately 10
