Drain the chilies, and discard the soaking water. Combine the chilies and 3/4 cup of the reserved marinade, the annatto, oil, and salt in the jar of a blender and purée at high speed for 15 seconds. (To make the sauce by hand, purée the soaked chilies through a food mill into a bowl. Discard any pulp left in the mill. Stir in 3/4 cup of reserved marinade, the annatto, oil, and salt.).
