Ingredients
3 dried ancho chilies, stemmed, seeded
2 cups apple cider
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups diced onions
¼ cup finely chopped garlic
1 cup tomato sauce
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup packed brown sugar

Steps
- Combine cleaned chilies and apple cider in sauce pan. Bring to simmer and let sit for 45 minutes off of heat.
- In separate sauce pan, heat oil, garlic and onion. Add tomato sauce and ancho chilies (without liquid). Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
