Chili Cook-Off is Today ... so looking forward to it as it is one of my favorite things

I have never made Red Chili Sauce from Dried Chili Pods ,  but this year I got brave and tried it.It does help to give the Chili a nice Red Color , which the judges love , but it also changes the taste dramatically and not one that appeals to me , as much as the way I use to make it.We shall see here in a few hours how things went.
