Mole Sauce in Gift Jars

Directions

• 1

  In a pot over medium heat, add the water, chiles, garlic, onion and peanut. Cook for 20-30 minutes until the chiles are tender.
• 2

  When ready, let cool for a bit and, using a food processor or blender, mix all the ingredients until you achieve a thick consistency.
• 3

  Transfer the mixture back to the pot and add in the remaining ingredients. Mix with a large spoon or hand mixer. If you need to make it more watery, add an extra cup of hot water. However, remember that the sauce should be thick; so the more water you add, the more time you’ll need to leave it on the stove to achieve the desired consistency.

  When ready, pour the mole into the mason jars and cover with their lids. Stick a label on each jar to identify them and store in the fridge.

  If properly sealed and stored in the refrigerator, the mole will last two weeks. You can also freeze it if you use freezer-friendly containers.
