re: Hot pepper vinegar recipes

Truthfully, there's thousands of peppers out there and many of them look alike but have varying heat properties. It would be almost impossible to tell what those peppers are just by a picture.

As for pepper vinegar, I make it to use with some of the things I eat. I like to cut up the peppers but first remove the seeds and pith and then chop them up a bit. Then place them in a shaker type bottle like Soy Sauce comes in and pour your choice of vinegar over them, add salt to taste and let it sit. It will start to get pepper hot almost immediately and the heat will increase over the next few days, but it will only get so hot due to the peppers used.


Naturally, if using jalapeno peppers, it will be moderately hot, but if using Ghost, habanero or Trinidad Scorpions, it will be hotter.
