Drain the soaked Ancho chilies. Put all ingredients in the jar of a blender and whir until smooth. If it appears lumpy, run through a sieve. Put on the stove in a heavy pot and add 1/2 cup of the water the chilies were soaked in. Whisk over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat immediately and continue whisking periodically for about 10 minutes or until it is thick. Keep refrigerated. This salsa is excellent with grilled meat.
