Brad asked: <<Has anyone used Brandy or other alcohol to "pickle" any hot peppers? Please post a suggestion on type of alcohol and pepper to use.>> I've not tried it in other than vodka with piquins but Brandy sounds good to me. Or you could take a tip from Outerbridges Sherry Peppers Sauce where they combine sherry, rum, spices and (I think) Bermuda bird peppers. Check out their web page and maybe you'll get more ideas. I love the stuff. http://www.corpnet.bm/retailers/peppers/catalogue.html Has anyone else used Outerbridges and have good ideas for it's use? (I think I asked this once before but didn't get any replies then so maybe no one else has tried it). Deb in Houston
