so smoky
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I couldn't find ancho or pasilla chili powder, and I live in area with a very large hispanic population. Anyway, I bought... ancho chilis and ground one to make 1 tbs of powder. I skipped the pasilla. This was inedible as is. It was so smoky. I can't describe how powerful the smoky flavor was. I was really excited to try a from-scrath bbq sauce, which this almost is, so I'm not going to give up. I was able to save this bbq sauce by adding some tomato paste and peach preserves. Next time, I'll go for a tsp. of ancho powder with the rest of the recipe the same. Read more

Great sauce!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I found this sauce super easy to make, and was delicious. I used regular chili powder, increased the cayenne a bit, and it... was lovely. Thick and rich. I made it a day before I used it to allow the flavors to mesh well.Read more
