Long hot peppers = spicy vinegar

[Steve H]

Robert @tx smoker was talking to me about spicy vinegar. I have a touch over 3 quarts of his recipe. And was thinking about using other peppers as well. So, I found some Long hot peppers. And while their heat level can vary like crazy. I figured it would turn out interesting either way.

Divided in 3 one quart mason jars.

Boiled a 50/50 blend of white and cider vinegar.

Filled up. And capped. Give them a week or so then try them out. Then I'll put them in some better looking bottles.

Yum, I flat out love pepper vinegar, try adding some salt to one jar Steve....I add a tea spoon per jar.

I use pepper vinegar like it's going out of style, I always have a bottle on the kitchen table.
Those Japanese long peppers are awesome grilled with smoked sea salt and lots of fresh lime juice. I make them by the pan full when I smoke briskets, butts or ribs, everyone loves snacking on them while sipping a cold beer.

I'm going to let them sit about a week. Though I'll sample along the way!

I thought about that. And now I am going to add that now. The liquid is still plenty warm enough. Thanks!

I don't even heat the vinegar when I make it , I'm lazy.
I just toss everything in and shake it up, most of the salt melts in a day or two, I just keep adding vinegar and peppers to it as needed. I've had the same big Patron bottle going for well over a year, I add all sorts of peppers to it.
I haven't killed anybody with it yet......LOL!!!

We like it of fried fish, chicken, pork and rice.

Now that is a perfect use for that bottle. Perhaps that bottle of Redemption rye will have a new life soon! I've used the vinegar on veggies. Last night it was steamed Broccoli. I've always put vinegar on some veggies. But this really does kick things up.

I have the bartender at the little bar down the street from me save me a few bottles and make up a batch and give them to friends for Christmas. Anytime I see a cool bottle I ask the gal to save them for me, I always bring her BBQ so she makes sure I get them. My favorite bottles to give away as gifts are the Crystal Head Vodka bottles.

wow, you guys must hate your stomachs.. wish I could handle stuff like though it does look good.

It's actually getting a little harder on me but I can't push it away just yet.
Boy, it sure does suck getting old.

Steve! The king of bottling and canning (jars). Looks like another good job to me. I love the hot stuff as well.

Thank you! I'm anxious to test these out.
