3 ounces dried chilies

such as Anaheim, or a combination of

mild and hot peppers)*

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Remove and discard stems and seeds. Whirl pods in a blender until finely ground.

Allow powder to settle. Add remaining ingredients and whirl briefly.

*Dry peppers according to Drying Guidelines in the vegetable section. Peppers dried in

a dehydrator retain their original color and flavor. They may either be dried whole or in

halves, skin side down. Hotness and flavor will vary with the chilies used. Removing

the seeds will decrease the hotness. Make sure that peppers are completely dry and

stored in airtight containers.

Makes 1/2 cup.
