Plain old white vinegar is standard with many vinegar/pepper combos - I suppose you could add garlic to it to make it "more special" Sharen Rund Bloechl Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems Sunnyvale Data Center sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com <mailto:sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com> Phone: 408-756-5432 [or] Fax: 408-756-0912 srund@svl.ems.lmco.com <mailto:srund@svl.ems.lmco.com> LMnet: 8-326-5432 Pager: 408-539-5146 web: http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi <http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi> [or] Operator Assist: 1-800-725-5079, pin 408-539-5146 ---------- From: Bob Batson[SMTP:bob@sky.net] Sent: Friday, August 20, 1999 11:45 AM To: chile-heads-digest@globalgarden.com Subject: [CH] Good type of Vinegar to "heat-up" with chiles? Can anyone suggest a good type of vinegar to "heat-up" with chiles by immersing the chiles in the vinegar for a couple of months? I'll be using either Thai and/or Malagueta chiles. The `hot' vinegar will be used on cooked spinach and individual servings of chili (the meat stew). ==================================================================== Bob Batson L 39 12 14 N 94 33 16 W bob@sky.net Kansas City TCS - Mystic Fire Priest USDA zone 5b ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Under the most controlled conditions, the experimental apparatus will do exactly as it pleases.
