Yes, significantly different from my notes of a Bayless chorizo
recipe but I did not keep track of which book it came from:

1 oz dry Chili Ancho
1 oz dry Chili Pasilla
1/4 t Coriander Seeds
1/2 Cinnamon stick
1/8 t cloves
3/4 t Oregano
1/3 t black pepper
1/8 t nutmeg
1/8 t ginger
2 T paprika
1 t salt
3 cloves garlic
1/3 cup cider vinegar
