In the early days of my father's career in New Orleans, he developed a habit of seasoning dishes with pepper-packed vinegar, which became a staple at our family table.
To make a milder version of pepper vinegar, simply remove the seeds and ribs from the chilies before placing them in the jar for preservation.
When preparing the brine for my pepper vinegar, I combine distilled white vinegar with sugar, salt, and whole black peppercorns, elevating the flavors remarkably.
This easy-to-make pepper vinegar not only enhances everyday meals but also serves as a thoughtful and delicious holiday gift.
