| 1. Seed the chiles, rinse and set aside. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the chilies, pushing them down with a spoon so they are fully submerged. | 2. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes. | 3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, boil the onions in water until soft, about 25 minutes. Drain. Or alternatively you can put the onions under the broiler to blacken. | 4. Remove the soaked chiles from the water, reserving 2 cups of the liquid. In a food processor, blend the chilies, onions and garlic until pureed. | 5. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil. Stir the cumin into the hot oil, being careful not to burn it. | 6. Add the chile mixture and simmer for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the stock, 1 cup of the reserved chile liquid and the tomatoes. | 7. Add just enough additional stock and reserved liquid to make a sauce the consistency of thin gravy. | 8. Add the 2 T sugar and 1/2 T salt and cook for 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is the consistency of a thin gravy. | 9. Taste and add more salt and sugar if needed. | 10. Set aside to cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days, or in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
