Hot Pepper Vinegar
Angie McGowan
A Southern pantry staple that tastes amazing drizzled over steamed greens.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 3 hot peppers (any variety, jalapeños work well)
- 2 cloves garlic (optional)
- 3 peppercorns (optional)
Directions
- Clean the jar you are going to be using in the dishwasher or boiling water.
- Bring vinegar to a boil. Wash peppers and either chop then to fit in your jar or put a little cut in them so that the vinegar penetrates them. Trim top stems.
- Add peppers, garlic, and peppercorns to jar.
- Pour boiling vinegar over peppers. Make sure peppers are completely covered with vinegar.
- Leave a little air space in between the vinegar and the lid; close the lid. Let it sit for a few weeks and enjoy.
