Instructions: Place chiles in warm water for 10 - 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet and brown pork with onion and garlic. After chilies have been sitting in the water until softened, remove tips and seeds. Chop the chilies. Place beef broth in a blender and add red chilies. Puree broth and chilies in the blender. Place beef broth in a crock-pot followed by browned pork, onions and garlic. Add potatoes, tomatoes, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and vinegar. Cook for several hours until potatoes are tender. This stew is somewhat spicy. If you do not like your food hot, reduce the number of red chiles that you use in the stew. We would recommend that you use some chilies in the stew because they add a great flavor.

Chefs Notes: Use light beef broth.
