INSTRUCTIONS
(Also available in original Spanish; direct requests to me at
jguad1@mer.cioe.com, as most list members appear to prefer misusing
the English language.) Procedure Rinse chiles. Simmer 'em, low heat,
in just enough water to cover them, for about 15 minutes. Drain 'em.
Add remaining ingredients: slices of onion, garlic, a few cloves, a
few peppercorns, the bay leaf or two, salt to taste, and a "pinch" of
piloncillo for a slight sweetening effect. Fill pot with enough
VINEGAR and low-boil until other ingredients reach your desired level
of done-ness, tenderness, etc. Before transferring into the
pickling-jar-of-your-choice, add a bit of cooking oil. ("Bit" was my
translation of the Spanish "chorro" which can mean "splash" or
"squirt" or "dollop" if you will.) Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V4
