HOT PEPPER VINEGAR

Getting these bad boys and vinegar to make old fashioned pepper vinegar.  These are ghost papers that register 855,000 on the Scoville Units scale. By comparison cayenne peppers are about 50’000 units.

Hot Pepper Vinegar
   Once on everybody’s dinner table. Used in particular on braised greens. Cayenne peppers were the most common, but any will work.

Wash hot red or green peppers; prick with a large needle (to allow the vinegar to get inside). Pack into sterilized bottles; cover with boiling hot vinegar. Cork at once. Keeps virtually forever at room temperature.
