RED CHILE GLAZE

           Recipe courtesy Jere Waquie

           12 dried New Mexico red chile
           pods
           3 cups boiling water
           2 cups honey
           2 tablespoons red chile
           powder
           2 tablespoons cumin

           Deseed the chiles, and place in a bowl.
           Reconstitute them by pouring on 3 cups
           boiling water and allowing them to soak about
           5 minutes. Drain the chiles and reserve 1-cup
           of the liquid.

           Process the chiles with the reserved water in a
           blender or food processor until fine. Strain and
           transfer pulp into a mixing bowl. Add the
           honey, chile powder, and cumin and mix well.
           Refrigerate for 1 hour to blend flavors.

           This glaze is excellent on grilled fish, roasted
           or grilled chicken, or roast pork.
