12 ounces hot red peppers, such as red finger, hot cherry, cayenne, or Barker's (sometimes called red Anaheim), stems, ribs, and seeds removed, cut into 2-inch pieces if large
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
Kosher salt
1/3 cup apple-cider vinegar, preferably unfiltered
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

Combine peppers, onion, and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a sieve set over a bowl and let stand 30 minutes. Run under cold water for a few seconds to remove excess salt, then thoroughly drain.
In a small saucepan, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in pepper mixture. Let cool completely. Transfer to resealable jars with lids. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 days and up to 1 month, or follow our canning instructions and store at room temperature up to 1 year.
