Yields:: 14 ounces

ingredients

1 cup red & green Thai red chili pepper
1 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

directions

Wearing rubber gloves, fill a 14oz glass jar with stemmed Thai chile peppers to within about an inch from the top.
In small saucepan, bring vinegar, salt, and sugar to a boil, stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved (about 2-3 mins).
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
Pour hot mixture over peppers in jar.
Cover and chill 3 weeks.
NOTE: Chilling for three weeks allows the peppers to fire up the vinegar mixture. The longer it sits, the zippier it gets!
NOTE #2: Wearing rubber gloves when working with hot peppers is a good idea!
