    4                    Dried New Mexico red chilies
    4                    Dried chipotle chilies
    1                    To 2 fresh habanero or
                         Scotch bonnet chilies,
                         Stemmed and seeded
    2                    To 6 medium garlic cloves,
                         Peeled and coarsely chopped
      1/4   c            Coarsely chopped onions
      1/3   c            Loosely packed fresh
                         Rosemary
    1       t            Coarse sea salt
      1/4   c            Bourbon, or 3 tablespoons
                         Brown sugar
    2       c            Red wine vinegar
      1/4   c            Lemon juice
 
   1. Stem and seed the dried chilies.  Place in a skillet and put into a
   preheated 250-degree oven for about 4 minutes, until they become fragrant.
   Shake once during the roasting time.  Remove from oven and put in just
   enough hot water (water just below the boiling point) to cover then put a
   small plate on top to submerge the chilies.  Let soak 20 to 30 minutes,
   until softened.
   2. Drain the chilies and chop coarsely.  Put into a food processor or
   blender with the fresh chilies, garlic according to taste, onions,
   rosemary, salt, bourbon or brown sugar, vinegar and lemon juice.  Blend
   about 3 to 4 minutes, until very smooth.  Pour into a jar, cover and
   refrigerate.
   Note: The sauce can be used to marinate chicken, pork, ribs, or a meaty
   fish such as swordfish before grilling.
