Yes they are smoked jalapenos!! Better, at Trader Joe's you can buy a
small bottle of Chipotle salsa....DELICIOUS but HOT!

Add a tiny bit, just to give it the taste you like....but be careful!

Thanks both, so I have 5 or 6 whole chipotles at home :)
They're dried, very dry, so... some hint/link about how to cook
these nukes?

You can coarsely crush or finely grind 'em and then use like
you would use other crushed or ground chiles.

You can make Chipotles en Adobo...

And you can make more when you've used up the ones you got...

I use them whereever I want some heat and smokey flavor; great in the bean
pot, stews, chili, etc. I also like just a touch of chipotle in adobo sauce
added to beaten eggs - gives a little twist of smokey heat to an omelet or
scrambled eggs.

Sometimes unripe, they are kind of blond color.

Soak them in boiling water to cover until they're soft.

If you like, you can remove the stems and/or seeds first.

Once they're soft, chop with a knife, or puree in a blender.
I've got one of those miniature food processors that I
often use for this.

I do this too, but usually freeze. How long does it safely keep in
frig?

Yes, this must be the first thing to do with them, since they're
still whole.

Well, in effects theyr color is something between blonde and
kaki, sure it is a "light" color, not medium nor dark.
