I found this recipe on the web while researching an article for Costa Rician Foods. Aparently this stuff is addictive. If you try it please feel free to compare to the store bought stuff & what you would add/change. No name was attached to the original recipe.

  • Simmer for five minutes.
  • Remove the chile pieces from the pan and place in blender.
  • Measure out 1 cup of the chile-infused water and add to the blender.
  • Add the remaining ingredients.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Taste for seasoning.
  • Pour into a sterile jar and seal.
  • Keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge or you can freeze in a container or ice cube tray.
