• 15 dried chipotle or modita chiles.  They should have a smokey smell and be of the dark variety.
• 2.5 – 3 cups olive oil (the oil should land a good inch above all the ingredients once inside the pot)
• 2 heads of garlic, cloves peeled and rough ends chopped off.
• 1 cup of brown sugar or more to taste.  Remember sweet and fiery is the point.

Process

1. Remove the stems from the chiles (you can take the seeds out as well if you want to tone it down a notch).
2. Put the olive oil in a smallish pot and add the chilies and the skin and ends removed garlic cloves.
3. Turn on low and let warm for an hour (chiles and garlic should be good and soft.
4. Add sugar until disolves
5. Salt to taste
6. Señor Edith sold it as is, but I like to blend and strain it through a fine sieve so that it has the consistency of jam.
