I have never bought the stuff, which is a peach-citrus liqueur
and not whiskey at all. It's okay in mixed drinks but way too
sweet to drink on its own.

Except beans and chili. Grump.

Texas red chili
cat: stew
servings: 8

2 fresh Jalapeno chiles
2 fresh ancho chiles
3 lb chuck, cubed small
2 oz rendered beef suet
- or sub 2 Tb oil
2 Tb cumin
1 ts cayenne (more to taste)
1 ts oregano
salt
chopped garlic to taste
chopped onion to taste

In a hot skillet, under the broiler, or over direct flame,
char peppers on all sides; then let sweat in a paper bag.
Peel skins and remove stems and seeds. Puree flesh in blender
with water just to cover.

Saute chuck in fat until meat is gray.

Combine meat and pepper puree in a large pot; cover with
water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and let simmer
30 min. Add herbs, garlic, and salt. Return to the boil,
reduce heat, and let simmer covered 45 min, stirring
occasionally. Add water as necessary to prevent scorching.

Cool and refrigerate. Remove excess fat. "Reheat the chili
and serve topped with chopped onion. Offer saltine crackers
on the side. (And beans, too, if you must.)"
