Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

For chile vinegar
5 ounces small (2- to 3-inch) fresh hot red or green chiles such as serrano or Thai (about 20), rinsed and patted dry
1 1/3 cups distilled white vinegar
To make dipping sauce
6 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes (optional)
Special Equipment
a 1-pt canning jar with lid and screw band; an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • Sterilize jar and lid:
  • Wash jar, lid, and screw band in hot soapy water, then rinse well. Dry screw band. Put empty jar on a rack in a boiling-water canner or a deep 5- to 6-quart pot and add enough hot water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, covered, then boil 10 minutes. Remove canner from heat, leaving jar in water. Heat lid in water to cover by 2 inches in a small saucepan until thermometer registers 180°F (do not let boil). Remove from heat. Keep jar and lid submerged in hot water, covered, until ready to use.
  • Make chile vinegar:
  • Carefully remove jar and lid with tongs, then drain jar upside down on a clean kitchen towel and dry lid.
  • Pack chiles into jar. Bring vinegar to a boil in small saucepan, then remove from heat and pour over chiles. Cool to room temperature. Wipe off rim of jar with a dampened clean kitchen towel, then top with lid and firmly screw on screw band. Chill sealed jar 2 weeks.
  • Make dipping sauce:
  • Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then stir in red-pepper flakes (if using), 2 tablespoons chile vinegar, and salt to taste. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

This sauce is delicious! I love the way the flavors of the chiles, vinegar, and sugar come together. It's the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy.

This sauce is a bit too vinegary for my taste. I think I'll try making it again with less vinegar.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover chiles. I had some Anaheim chiles that were starting to go bad, so I made this sauce and it turned out great.

The sauce was easy to make and only required a few ingredients. I liked that I could adjust the heat level by adding more or less chiles.
