Hi, Coming out of lurking mode. I assume when you say Hot Pepper Butter you are refering to a compound butter. I love it on top of a thick, rare rib-eye (among other things). Take a stick of butter and allow it to soften at room temp. until it is workable (not totally melted) then I knead the butter with ground smoked habanero. Personally I use about a teaspoon per stick if I plan on sharing and I use about 2 teaspoons if I am going to be greedy. Once all is well mixed make a log out of it in some plastic wrap and place in the freezer to re-harden. Yum! You can use any ground dried chili you like as well as any very well minced fresh chili according to what taste you prefer. I hope you find this useful. just Yvonne ----- Original Message ----- From: "James M Campbell" <camkeep@bigfoot.com> To: "Chile-Heads" <chile-heads@globalgarden.com> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 4:55 AM Subject: [CH] And on his third attempt... > Good day.
