Here is a quick recipe from "A Dash of Elegance" for a pepper sherry. There are quite a few other flavored sherry recipes in there as well, but this is the first I plan to make. Hot Pepper Sherry 6 to 8 habaneros 4 to 5 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon black peppercorns 1 bottle dry cocktail sherry Wash and dry the peppers. Pierce them in several places with a fork and put them in a wide mouthed jar. Add the garlic and peppercorns. Add the sherry, cover, and store in a cool dark place for 2 weeks. Strain the sherry through several layers of cheesecloth into the original bottle. Discard the peppercorns but reserve the garlic and habaneros in a small jar with just enough sherry to cover and refrigerate and use with appropriate recipes. > >At 5:30 AM +1100 7-2-98, Mary McGee Wood wrote: >>Chile-flavoured oils seem to crop up as a bit of an FAQ here, but I >>haven't seen anyone mention one of my own favourite condiments, chile- >>flavoured sherry. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- ...if that which thou seek thou find not within thee, thou will never find it without thee." -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
