Drain and reserve the liquid. Put chilis and tomatoes in a food processor. Add lime juice, soy sauce, honey and cognac. Use the knife on high speed to make a smooth paste. Add some of the reserved liquid if needed. Boil the paste for a few minutes and fill in jars. Makes a nice but rather mild chili paste. Serve with grilled or deep fried seafood.
