Name: Chipotles En Escabeche ("S-Cob-Etch-Eh")
Ingredients: Chiles; Onions; sliced; Garlic; in cloves; Cloves; Peppercorns; 1 Bay leaf (up to 2); Salt; Piloncillo (best translation: "chunk" brown sugar, Mexican-style); Vinegar; Cooking oil (unspecified; corn oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, rapeseed, etc. should be OK. Olive oil may be a little too strong-flavored, but what-the-hey. Post your findings.)

It is important to note that that though most of the attack on believers seems to come through humans, we must see the devil as the ultimate force behind it all. It’s easy to get frustrated and even resentful toward others who oppose the cause of Christ, but they must not be seen as the primary cause or the primary enemy. People are only prisoners of war being used like puppets in the hands of Satan. People are to be loved as deceived as they may be. They are the mission field that needs to be set free from their bondage as they exist entombed in their false beliefs. Our enemy is not the liberal media or the gay community or the atheist or even the devil worshipper that lives down the street. Our enemy is the devil himself. We struggle not against flesh and blood (Eph. 6:12).

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.)
