Chipotle Salsa

Who doesn't love salsa, I know in my house everyone does. And its not your basic tomato salsa any more. Here is my husbands favorite, Chipotle Salsa. I hope you will try it and let me know what you think. You will need the following things to get your started.
  • Dried Chipotle pepper pods (as many as you like)
  • A glass container with a tight lid
  • Vinegar (enough to cover)
  • Salt
  • Water
  • Food processor
The next step is to put your cleaned dried peppers into a glass bowl or even a jar. Make sure your bowl has a lid.


Chipotle Dried Whole chile Peppers - 8 oz.

You want to cover your peppers with the vinegar. To make a thinner salsa add more vinegar.

To that you will add one teaspoon of salt per cup of vinegar you used.


Dried Morita Chipotle Powder, Morita - 4 oz.

Place your lid on your bowl or jar, and keep it stored at room temp, with some moderate amount of light for a week.

After your week is done, transfer your peppers to the fridge.

Now to make your salsa, simply blend your peppers and pickle juice from the bowl or jar on a low speed. To get a good consistency add water on a as needed basis.
