Instructions:

Prepare Ancho Chilies: If you can only find dried ancho chilies, begin by removing their stems and cutting them into 1-inch pieces. Then, cover them with boiling water and let them stand for 30 minutes.
-
Blend Chilies and Tomatoes: After the chilies have soaked, drain them and place them into a blender along with half of the whole tomatoes and their juice. Process this mixture until it reaches a semi-smooth consistency.
-
Combine Ingredients: Transfer the blended chili and tomato mixture into a saucepan. Add in the remaining ingredients: minced garlic cloves, finely diced onion, chopped cilantro sprigs, sugar, and salt.
-
Simmer: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the salsa thickens slightly.
-
Serve: Once the salsa is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a serving dish and serve it alongside your favorite dishes or snacks. Enjoy the burst of flavor!
This Winter Salsa I is not only easy to make but also packed with vibrant flavors that are sure to brighten up any dish, making it perfect for the holiday season or any time you crave a taste of the Southwest!
