i find it extremely mild, i eat the dried ones like raisins. does your supermarket have a section with just bags of dried peppers, you could maybe food process them or grind them and if no anchos there maybe pasilla peppers done the same way. you could mail order it as well, i believe penzeys carries itfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

I found ancho chili powder at a local Mexican market. They also had the dried whole peppers. The powder was in a cellophane bag with a yellow label across the top. 1 1/4 oz. package. Next time I am at a larger market I will try to find a bigger package.A poor widows son.

That seems odd that you can't find in your area of GA. I can even get it up here in Toronto.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

I found them at a local asian market ( in the Mexican isle ) They are dried out in a bag and I grind them myself .
I have made the coffee rub and would say that Ancho is important to the rub

How about just going to your regular grocery store and looking in the spice section?This is what I buy up here:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

Something about that just sounds dirty...pantsypants said:haha , I am marinating Duck legsL x2, M, S, Mini and a Blackstone 36. She says I have enough now....eggAddict from MN! -
pantsypants, if you have a Wegman's in Toronto (which I doubt), they sell juniper berries. In plastic bags on an end cap in the produce section.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

in a pinch you can sometimes pick enough out of a package of pickling spice, juniper is strong and most recipes dont call for manypantsypants said:thanks but no Wegmansfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
If you're asking about the product that I posted a picture of then, yes, I believe it is the same thing.Timbo66 said:Will ancho chili pepper work rather than the powder?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

Oh well. That's what I figured. Penzey's or The Spice House will have them. I know The Spice House ships to the GWN.pantsypants said:thanks but no WegmansI hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

You have an Egg, smoke your own! Smoked Poblanos = Anchos. You can find poblanos anywhere. Unripened green will be more mild than the fully ripened red. After you smoke them, deseed and grind as needed. I find it more fun to make all my rubs this way. Sense of accomplishment, lol.
