Heat oil and add mixture. Cook until starts to thicken and add remaining broth. Add sugar and salt and simmer about 30 minutes.

*Pronounced gwahHEEyoh. The guajillo is one of the most commonly grown chiles in Mexico. They are dark reddish brown and have a leathery texture. Their heat is mild to moderate, and they are usually sold in 2 or 4-oz. packages. If you can't find them, substitute dried ancho or other red chilies.
