It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Hot pepper vinegar is a delicious and spicy condiment that can add a fiery kick to any dish. It is made by mixing hot peppers with vinegar, which acts as a preserving agent and helps to draw out the heat and flavor of the peppers.

First time I made this I put the peppers in whole. It made a nice vinegar but it wasn't as hot as I was hoping for. Second time I sliced the peppers in half. That helped make it spicier. Just strain before using because the seeds do come out into the vinegar.
I open bath my hot peppers, to seal the lids. I just feel better about knowing about it. Don't know if it is necessary, but i do it as a precaution. I do like this recipe, I never thought to put in cayenne powder.
Does the lid need to seal as in canning?
i've done that two weeks ago and what happened is my garlic has turned turquoise and stripped!! Is it ok or do i have to throw it out and start over? Thank you
This recipe does not call for garlic. There should NOT be any garlic in your vinegar. If you added it, you should toss out the batch immediately. Garlic can go rancid in oils and vinegars if kept at room temperature.
