Cocina deVega has a new product: Chiltepins & Pepper Crusher Chiltepins (pronounced chill teh PEENS) are harvested from wild pepper plants found only in one place on earth: the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains in the Sonoran Desert. All efforts to cultivate the species produce a pepper with a profoundly different form and flavor. One or two of these tiny round beauties, crushed and sprinkled on a wide variety of foods, impart the flavor of a sweet red pepper along with the “bite” of a hot red pepper. Offered with the Chiltepins is the pepper crusher. The traditional pepper crusher, or Chiltepin Mortero, is made from mesquite wood by the same indigenous people who harvest the chiltepins. Our crushers are carved by local craftsmen from trimmings of healthy mesquite trees growing in the same Sonoran Desert where the chiltepins are gathered. The crushers are shaped so that the peppers can be tapped into the opening, crushed and sprinkled on food without touching these potent peppers. If the whole or crushed peppers are touched, be sure to wash hands thoroughly before touching eyes or other sensitive areas.
All of Cocina deVega's products are socially and environmentally responsible for the purpose of improving the quality of life for a broad community - local, national, and international. Our products are harvested by small-scale farmers in Mexico and Peru who are members of local farmer associations that support sustainable farming practices. Visit us at cocinadevega.com

Today's Recipe from Crisco.com:
Savory Soups and Stews
Satisfying to the soul and the stomach, soup has long been regarded as a comfort food. Whether it's a creamy clam chowder or a hearty beef stew, most people are soothed by the delightful aroma of a simmering pot of soup. And because it's not an exact science, this tasty meal is easy to make. You can add a little more of what you like and a little less of what you don't. It can be frozen, made ahead, and practically ignored when it's cooking, leaving you time to relax.
CLAM CHOWDER
Makes 3 quarts
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons CRISCO Shortening
2 large yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
6 medium potatoes (about 2 pounds), pared and thinly sliced
1-1/2 cups water
2 cans (10 ounces each) shelled whole baby clams or 3 cans (6-1/2 ounces each) minced clams
1 quart milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Procedure:
Melt Crisco in a large heavy saucepan. Saute onions and potatoes for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Add water, heat to boiling, reduce heat, and simmer covered 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir in clams and their liquid. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add milk, salt, and pepper.
Cool mixture uncovered for 30 minutes, then set uncovered in the refrigerator. About 20 minutes before serving, heat chowder very slowly just until steam rises from top (about 20 minutes); do not boil.
