Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add enough water or tomato juice the last 20 minutes of cooking to desired consistency. Makes 5 or 6 servings.
*Handling Hot Chile Peppers:
Because hot chili peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands and fingernails well with soap and water when you are done.
