We love this mixed in softened butter and on steaks, corn on the cob etc... also very delicious mixed in mayo and on sandwiches. It's good stirred into soups, sauces, roasts etc... it's very spicy straight out of the jar, but just extremely flavorful and delicious mixed in things. Try it, you'll like it!

    This is delicious if you use roasted peppers as well. Also, although my family likes it with the red finger chili's here is how you make it with other chili's. This can be made using dried chili's instead of fresh, if you do let them stand in the boiling water for 20 minutes. Hottest: Use 6-8 habanaros and a yellow bell pepper or use 8 dried cayenne peppers and a red bell pepper. Red Hot: Use 6-8 jalapenos and a green bell pepper or use 8 dried chipotles and a green bell pepper. Mild: Use 8 poblanos and green bell pepper or use 8 dried anchos and a green bell peppers.
