Pepper Wine

• 6 whole fresh hot red peppers
• 1 pint light rum, or dry sherry

Put the whole peppers into a glass jar and pour in the rum or sherry. Cover tightly with the lid and allow to stand 10 days before using. Use a few drops in soups or sauce. Pepper Vinegar is made in the same way.

If fresh peppers are not available, whole, hot dried peppers may be used.
