INSTRUCTIONS
Sprinkle the chile strips with the salt; toss and let them sit for 10
minutes. Toast the mustard and cumin seeds on a hot skillet, stirring
constantly, for a couple of minutes until the seeds begin to crackle and
"pop". Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, remove from the heat, stir
in the ginger, and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Remove and discard. Stir in
the chiles, seeds, and lemon juice and pack in a sterilized jar. For 5
days, set the jar in the sun in the morning on days when it is at least 70
degrees Fahrenheit and bring it in at night. Shake the jar a couple of
times each day. YIELD: 1 Pint
Serving suggestions: Serve these chiles on sandwiches, hamburgers, or as a
side relish for grilled or roasted meats. Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V4
