I boiled some dried peppers to make a sauce. I'd like to preserve it, can I do this by adding vinegar? how?

Question

like how much vinegar? what kind? do I need to boil the vinegar? how long will it be safe to eat?

Answer 1

One way to pickle peppers is to preserve them whole. Clean them, leave a bit of the stem on, and put them in a wide-neck jar. For a quarter pound of chiles, mix half a cup of sugar, 1-1/2 cups of white wine vinegar, and half-a-dozen black peppercorns in a pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Immediately pour the hot vinegar over the peppers, almost to the top of the jar and seal well. Stored in the refrigerator, the chiles will last for a year.
