Tim,

Last summer a friend brought in a big crop of especially hot Habs.  He finely
diced them & added (at least) vinegar.  He have me a quart!.   I keep the jar
in the frig,  I still have some left and they are still goooood after all this
time.  I'm sure someone will volunteer the right amount of vinegar, etc. to
use.

=> A suggestion:   Love it in my omelet with some chedder/jack/whatever
cheese.!
      For me, 'bout 1/4 to1/2 tsp gets a good start in the AM.

Andy.
