Full Share Veggie Box Ancho Peppers

Remove the stem and seeds from the dried peppers.
Tear the dried whole ancho chiles into pieces and add them to a spice grinder or small food processor. You could use
a dedicated inexpensive coffee grinder used only for grinding spices. Any spice grinder can be used.
Grind until it becomes finely ground ancho powder. For extra fine ancho chile powder, sift and re-grind until desired
consistency. Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Begins to lose freshness after
about six months.

Variations:

Make it spicier. If you want your ancho chile powder to have some heat, you can leave some seeds when grinding
into a powder.

Mixing in other spices. Depending on your taste, you can add other ingredients like garlic powder, onion powder,
cumin, and salt to enhance the flavor.
