Dear Andrew,

I've never made it, but here's a recipe. We can find chipotles in adobo
sauce in many of our markets in small cans for about $1.50 (£1).

Myron

Chipotles in Adobo Sauce 

     7 to 10 medium-sized dried 
     chipotle chilies -- stemmed 
     and slit lengthwise 
     1/3 cup Onion -- 1/2-inch slices 
     5 tablespoons Cider vinegar 
     2 Cloves garlic -- sliced 
     4 tablespoons Ketchup 
     1/4 teaspoon Salt 

Combine all of the ingredients in a pan with 3 cups of water. Cover and
cook over very low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the chilies are very
soft and the liquid has been reduced to 1 cup. This recipe will keep for
several weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
