-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 c Hot peppers, any kind

Olive oil, extra virgin

1 Garlic clove, chopped (opt)

6 Drops lemon juice (opt)

Hot tomales!!! Turn them into hot pimentos. Split and

remove seeds and veins and stems, Saute' with garlic

in extra virgin olive oil until tenter but not brown,

pack still hot peppers tightly into jar leaving 1/2

inch headroom. Meanwhile heat 1 cup E V olive oil in

sauce pan to 300 degrees, using a pointed knife pierce

a hole down the center of the peppers to the bottom of

the jar, pour the hot oil into this hole a little at a

time to avoid boil over, fill the jar to 1/4 inch from

the top slowly. Wipe the jar top and sides with a

paper towel and apply the cap tightly.

No further processing is needed. The jarred product is

shelf stable (check for the requisite depressed lid).

Be sure to sterilize the lid at the very least, the

hot oil will sterilize the jar and peppers.

Sure, olive oil works. Don't spend any extra on a virgin olive oil however, it's a waste since the delicate flavor will be lost with the spice. Use the cheapest you can find.

You can use vinegar and water, but the product will be acidic like Louisiana style hot sauce.
