Those are super easy to turn into hot sauce.
Just cut the tops & stems off, and stuff them in a jar.
Boil some vinegar in a pot on the stove, mix in a bit of salt, and pour over the peppers.
Let it cool down & then throw the jar full of vinegar and peppers into your refrigerator for 2 weeks.
Done.
Use the salty, hot pepper infused vinegar like you would any other hot sauce.
Nice one, sounds like a great idea tbh, maybe also add red onions to it ๐ค always wanted to make pickled stuff so I might as well try with this one ๐ฏ Maybe half parts white vinegar and half parts apple cider, what do you think?
I've tried with both kinds of vinegar, and both are good with different dishes.
Personally, I liked the apple cider vinegar version on salads, and the white vinegar base paired well with heavier foods like tacos or fried potatoes.
Maybe start with 2 smaller batches, one of each, and combine them later if the mix is what works best for you?
I find pickled red onions are good on their own - like, the onion itself makes a good condiment. However, if you roast some yellow onions & garlic in a light vegetable oil until they start to caramelize, and throw a spoonful of it in the jar with the peppers, it will infuse the vinegar with a nice flavor.
