Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 3-5 dried red chiles
  • 3/4 cup dried apricots
  • 3/4 cup dried prunes
  • 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flor de Jamaica
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Add the water, chiles, apricots, prunes, hibiscus, raisons, sugar and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a low boil making sure all of the dried chiles are submerged in order to reconstitute. Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the whole mixture to a high powered blender (you might have to work in batches) or a food processor. Blend until large pieces are pureed, but the sauce still has good body and texture. It will not be fully smooth and should be thick.
  • Use hot, warm or room temperature.
