Cherry Cascabel Chile Sauce
1 oz cascabel chile peppers, stemmed, seeded, or use
mirasol or guajillo
6 oz dried cherries, stemmed, seeded
1 lemon, juiced
1 orange, juiced
1 Tbs honey
1/2 C water
Put everything in a pan, bring to boil, reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook for 10 min, or until reduced by 1/2. Remove from heat,
let cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor.
Strain thru sieve, reheat over low heat before serving.
Makes about 1 cup.
I served this over poached salmon which turned out pretty well: I
poached the salmon in water with one each lemon, lime and orange halved
and added when boiling, then add the salmon and cook until just done.
