Ingredients
- 4 distilled white vinegar
- 3 to 7 hot chili peppers depending on how spicy you want the result
Instructions
-
Bring the distilled vinegar to 190ºF (just below the boiling point) in a medium saucepan.
-
Make a slice down one side of all the peppers. This will help release flavor to the vinegar and allow the pepper to sink in the vinegar. Place the peppers in a sanitized non-reactive 1-quart jar or container.
-
Pour the warm vinegar over the peppers. Let the mixture come to room temperature before covering with a lid. Store in a cool dark place for 2 weeks.
-
After 2 weeks, strain the vinegar through a fine strainer or a piece of cheesecloth. Transfer the strained vinegar to sanitized decorative bottles. If desired, add one or two fresh peppers to the vinegar, but understand that this will continue to flavor the vinegar, making it even spicier.
-
Tie a label on the bottle and give away to friends or family, or keep for yourself.
-
Enjoy with homemade potato chips, on shrimp or as an ingredient in a marinade for meats.
