Hot Pepper Butter
List of Ingredients
Hot Pepper Butter
=================
NOTE: Always remember to wear rubber or plastic disposable gloves when working with
hot peppers.
Hot peppers (about half a bushel or enough to make 4 quarts after they are cleaned
and ground using food processor)
6 cups white sugar
1 quart apple cider vinegar
1 quart regular mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups flour and enough water to make a paste for thickening
.
Mix together peppers, sugar, mustard, vinegar and salt. Bring to rolling boil. Slowly add
flour and water paste until the mixture thickens. Immediately place hot mixture in
sterilized jars. Seal with hot lids. Process for 10 minutes in hot water bath. A mixture of
both green and red peppers makes a pretty combination.
NOTE: Charlton now uses 2 cups white sugar, 2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups honey
instead of all white sugar. Her recommendations: If you want even hotter butter, use
any of the hotter varieties of peppers. Great for sandwiches, especially ham; mix a
spoonful into your ham glaze before baking; add to a bowl of chili; or blend with cream
cheese for a dip with corn chips. Makes about 15 pints.
