lemod drops out of control

[rickster]

so my lemon drops are out of control and i want to make a nice vinegar with them. my plan is to cut off tops, split and remove seeds, shove into a bottle and pour in white vinegar. question is, do i need to boil the vinegar and pour into the bottle hot?

I use hot and seal immediately. Toss a small piece of ginger in with it....You can thank me later.

Yeah whenever I put peppers in vinegar I bring to a boil, though I'm not sure if you have to. I also add some garlic and some salt, though not a lot of salt. Just out of curiosity why are you removing the seeds, I never have is the reason I ask. I have always used regular distilled vinegar for this, I had the thought I might try something different this year and mix in a different kind of vinegar like a white wine or rice wine along with the distilled white just to try it.

I like to do white wine vineager, splash of cheap champagne, some mini white onions, a couple slices of lime and a sprinkle of coriander seeds. Deeee-lish!  The liquid is great and the pepppers are even better of course.
 
I boil and pour over and usually add a little pickle crisp to keep the mush out.
 
I do a bunch for myself and gift what I think I won't eat over the year.
 
I will be trying the ginger suggestion too, thanks ShowMeDaSauce!!

Surprised at how little salt I'm seeing in these recipes. When I pickle peppers I use brine, like very salty. Anybody want to expand on using less salt?

First post he said he wanted to make vinegar , not pickled peppers.
 
But I am with you on the salt in pickled peppers , but that is a totally different recipe/thread.
