Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped hot chili peppers – You can use a mix of peppers if you’d like anywhere from mild bells to superhots like Morugas or Scorpions, though I like to keep the thickness of the peppers about the same so the overall consistency is even. Lean toward hotter peppers. For this, I used some sweet Italian peppers but included a couple ghost peppers.
  • 3/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/2 small onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seed
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a large pan and heat to medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a light boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer about 25-30 minutes, or until liquid is reduced and absorbed into the mixture.
  • Add to a jar and allow to cool.
  • Serve!
