Recipes for hot pepper vinegar for collard greens

medxam · Nov 27, 2013

I need to make up a good quantity of hot pepper vinegar to put on collard greens. My old recipe is pretty bland. What do you guys and gals use?

Now that I am on blood thinner, I am limited to one bowl at a sitting because collards are so rick in Vitamin K, which promotes blood clotting, two bowls messes up my medicines!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Hot peppers. I used hot cayenne, jalapeño, and tabasco peppers. Pour boiling white vinegar over peppers you have stuffed in a jar. That's all. Gets hotter with age, but starts off hot, too.

I will put a little water in mine,too. I cook the peppers in the vinegar and water for a while. I also put a few garlic cloves in it, and a touch of salt.

I just use the old cayenne peppers with the stems removed. I try to find mostly the red ones since they seem to be hotter. Then just put them in a jar with cider vinegar and let them sit for awhile. They do get better with age.

I use serranos, sliced and steeped in vinegar (just plain old white vinegar).

As an alternative, I make up Voodoo Powder, Zombie Resurrection Powder and Haitian Death Powder.

The first is a mix of Serrano, jalapeno and "sweet" peppers (75%), dehydrated and powdered in a coffee grinder. The second is the same but at least 50% Serranos and jalapenos. The last is Habanero and Setrranos only, powdered. Use regular vinegar (your choice) and powder of your choosing!

My Grandma just used hot vinegar and Tabasco peppers. Maybe some salt. That is what started me on hot food and I have never looked back.
How many of you boy-sans have had the hot pickled vegetables down in Mexico? When you get that taco from the street vender you usually get some.

Good collards don't need any help! A bit of bacon grease or a chunk of ham and its good to go! Boiled or fixed up in a hot cast iron frying pan...can't beat 'em! Oh...I'm limited too. Coumadin! (Warfarin aka rat poison)

We just put a big handfull of home grown Tabasco or Cayenne peppers into a bottle and fill it with white vinegar. We let it sit till the vinegar turns amber color, it's very good on beans, greens, or gumbo.
I have friends who make it with Gin other use oilve oil instead of vinegar both work well and get quite hot I believe hotter than the vinegar version.
We sometimes make it in empty salad dressing bottles, that works fine too, the batch below is just made, the vinegar hasn't absobed any color or flavor yet.
