Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
2 pounds of your favorite fresh hot peppers (You can use a single variety or mix them)
3 cups distilled white vinegar (5% acidity)
2 teaspoons pickling salt*
directions
Wearing disposable, powder free, latex, protective gloves, cut the peppers in half, remove and discard the membranes and seeds.
Using a food processor, finely chop the peppers and put them in a large pot.
Add the vinegar and salt.
Simmer gently for 5 minutes over medium heat. (Open all the doors and windows and turn your stove's vent fan on "high"!)
Using a wide mouth plastic funnel, ladle the mixture into a large heatproof sterilized glass jar or several small heatproof sterilized glass jars with non-corrosive lids.
Store the bottles in a cool dark place for one year.
When you are ready to make your sauce, force the pepper mixture through a food mill fitted with the small disk to remove the pepper skins and any seeds. Using a small mouth plastic funnel, ladle the sauce in small sterilized glass jars or bottles.
It will keep indefinitely in your refrigerator.
Victoria's Notes: *You can find pickling salt at your supermarket in the spice aisle or in the canning supplies section of most major discount stores.

Used a combo of hatch and jalapenos. I think I'll experiment with other peppers and ratios to get it just the right "heat" level.
