I'm not sure who all's recipes I borrowed this from (wish I could say I invented this tasty concoction!)...it's a combination of 2 or 3 of the best versions I found online. My hubby's uncle brought us some of this from Amish country a couple of years ago, and we liked it so well we grew and bought as many peppers as we could and put up several batches. Good on a sandwich, and very good on a regular or a kosher hot dog!

How To Make hot pepper butter

  • 1
    If you decide to add the optional ingredients, make it easy on yourself by pulsing them in food processor to the same consistency as the peppers (like fine relish).
  • 2
    Bring to a boil 1 1/2 pints vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, water, and salt, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • 3
    Mix together flour with remaining 1 cup vinegar until smooth, and gradually add to simmering mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined, then fold in peppers or pepper mixture, and mix well.
  • 4
    Pour into sterilized jars and seal. Note: I've made it plain and with the optional ingredients too, and both are equally good.

    Yield: 8-10 pint jars.
