Pepper Vinegar
Yes, you can sterilize canning jars, fill the jars with peppers and top with boiling vinegar, then seal with canning tops for a shelf-stable stash of pepper vinegar. But for a small, personal batch of pepper sauce for your table, all that work isn’t necessary. The acidity of the vinegar preserves the peppers and the peppers turn the vinegar into the perfect spike for greens, beans, and other dishes.
