Hot Pepper Vinegar
Hot pepper vinegar is a great condiment, and if you make it in small jars it makes for a great gift.
Servings: 8 small jars of Pepper Vinegar
Calories: 65kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound of small hot red peppers the peppers must fit into the mouths of the jars
- 1/2 gallon distilled white 5% vinegar
Instructions
- The small individual 875 ml wine bottles are great for making this pepper vinegar; you can also buy pretty decorative bottles. Be sure to use only clear glass jars. Wash jars and remove labels if there are any. Basically, any jar will work – some folks use Mason jars. I like to use small jars so that I have more bottles of pepper vinegar to give away.
- Trim any long stems on the peppers. Pack as many peppers as you can get into the jars. Use the handle end of a wooden spoon or a chopstick to stuff the peppers in the jar, being careful not to damage the peppers. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves.
- Using a funnel, fill each jar with the distilled vinegar, covering the peppers. Set on a shelf and in a few weeks you will have glorious hot pepper vinegar. You can refill the jars several times.
Notes
This does not need to be refrigerated.
