Grind together the chili powder, arbol chiles, coriander, cumin, chipotle chile powder, cloves and black pepper until they are a powder. Toast the spices in a hot dry pan for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Mix the toasted spice mixture with the brown sugar, cilantro, oregano, salt, vinegar and garlic. Toss with the pork until well coated. Refrigerate for 5 hours. Using a food processor grinder, grind the pork mixture. Take one-third of the ground meat and re-grind it to emulsify the fat. Mix with the remaining ground meat. This will keep for about 4 days in the refrigerator and freezes very well. It makes a great breakfast with eggs and hash browns. Yield: about 2 pounds.
Place the garlic, tomatoes, chiles and onion on a baking sheet and char under a low-flame broiler. Be sure to rotate all the ingredients so they are evenly charred. Once each is blackened all over and fragrant, remove it from oven, transfer to a shallow baking pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam together for 20 minutes so that the flavors combine. Puree in a blender until smooth. Add the avocados, cilantro and lime juice to the blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt. This keeps for about 4 days in the refrigerator, and it also freezes very well. Yield: about 2 cups.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toast the cumin, coriander, garlic and chiles in the oven until just browned. Place in a large pot. Char the plum tomatoes, onions, oregano and thyme under the broiler until burned on the outside. Add to the pot along with the honey, vinegar, diced tomatoes, cilantro and 8 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Puree and strain through a conical strainer (chinoise). This will keep in the refrigerator for about a week and freezes very well. It also makes a great enchilada sauce or chicken taco sauce. Yield: about 8 cups.
