Red Hot Pepper Vinegar
Now this is a recipe that I find particularly useful. It is different from the hot vinegar (find that recipe with a link to it mentioned below) that I like to keep on the table to season bowls of soup beans of greens with pot likker.
This is a useful way to preserve many of the seriously hot peppers you find yourself growing in the garden. Now of course, you could make hot sauce, but the hotter the pepper, the longer it takes to use hot sauce up, especially if it’s something like ghost peppers or scorpion peppers. It you infuse your seasoned vinegars with peppers, it offers possibilities for things like adding to hot wing sauces, making hot and spicy dill pickles or even hot vinaigrettes for spicy slaw or salad dressing. Perhaps even as a counterpoint to hot honey. However you use it, I am sure you will do a variety for all spice levels and purposes. And if your peppers aren’t too egregiously spicy, you can even use a milder pepper afterwards as a topping for a Chi Dog or the like instead of the usual Sport Peppers.

Ooooo, that looks dangerous, but so intensely flavorful! I will definitely share with my friend who grows all kinds of hot peppers and makes sauces and preserves with them. I think using this in a pan sauce deglaze would be seriously tasty.
I totally need to make this! I’ve not made flavored vinegars before but it makes total sense and would bring so much acid and flavor at the same time. Thanks for a great recipe!
I now need to hunt for Thai peppers!
Well, I guess I’m going to have to get my hands on some hot peppers…because this vinegar sounds like a pretty great thing to have sitting around in the kitchen!!!
I love all those different vinegars you have made. I’m so glad you could join us this week.
Glad to be in!
What a great idea, Sue! I’m definitely going to try it.
Divine idea! I have tons of peppers in my backyard and I am going to make pickles now. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
