Hot Pepper Vinegar

Ingredients

• ½ cups Small Hot Peppers (i.e. Habaneros, Serranos, Etc)
• 2 cloves Garlic Sliced In Half
• 1 teaspoon Whole Black Peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 cup White Vinegar

Preparation Instructions

I recommend using a glass bottle of some kind. If the peppers are larger than the bottle opening, slice them to fit. Mine just fit in the top as-is, so I sliced off the tops and added them with the seeds.

After adding the peppers to the bottle, add the garlic, peppercorns and sugar. Cover everything with the vinegar and let it sit at room temperature for 1 week. After this, the vinegar is ready to go, although I let mine sit just a bit longer for extra flavor!
