How to Make Winter Salsa I

  1. Place dried ancho chilies in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over the chilies, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let stand for 30 minutes to rehydrate.
  2. Drain the chilies and add half of the chilies and the tomato juice to a blender.
  3. Blend until semi-smooth.
  4. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the blended chili mixture, remaining chilies, remaining tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  7. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the salsa has thickened slightly.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm or cold with your favorite tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or eggs.
