Ingredients
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 30 small Hot peppers (or 20 large peppers)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine the vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
- Divide your peppers between two wide mouth pint jars. Pack them in so the jar is filled (do not break apart the peppers). See note 1.
- Pour the heated vinegar over the peppers filling the jars to the top.
- Tightly fasten the lid in place and store jars in a cool, dark place for 2 months.
- After two months you can use the pepper sauce. Keep it stored in a cool, dark place such as your pantry and when it gets low top it off with more vinegar (no need to boil the vinegar again).

Notes
- You do not have to use a wide mouth pint jar. You can use any glass container that can be tightly sealed and that your peppers can fit into.
