pepper infused maple syrup?!

Anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

Was at an amazing restaurant the other night. All the food was insane, but one thing is sticking with me.
They had a cocktail that was rum, lime juice, and chile infused maple syrup and it was awesome!

Now, I want to make some of this spicy syrup! For cocktails, and I really want to put it on pancakes!

Any ideas for how to do this? Should I just put some peppers in syrup for a few days? weeks? or mix some powdered pepper into the syrup and call it a day?
 
Cut up some chilies put the maple syrup and chilies in a pot bring it to a boil let it set there for a little bit, strain out the chillies and save the syrup... Thats how I would do it anyway.. basically the same method for infusing oil...

EDIT: Depending on what chilies you use you may need to put quite a few in there... if you make it and its too spicy for you then just add more non-infused syrup

EDIT: If you do this PLEASE post pics!

You can use flakes also if need be.
 
I make mine with dried chiles to avoid all the extra water/moisture. Just heat it up for a bit and then pour into sterilized bottles and refrigerate

thats what is did with some RAspberry preserve and 1 douglah(lazy way to spice up jelly) so like noted above, make sure to keep in the fridge.

Enjoy and let us know hot it urns out!

I never heard of botulism, so I had to check it out. Looking at the symptoms it looks pretty serious. Most cases found in infants but defidently something I was unaware of. I posted link if anyone wanted to check it out. [post='LInky']http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001624/[/post]

Thanks for the heads up!
 
Any rec's on what kind of pepper would work for this?

I was thinking habanero to get the heat to medium-high and also the sweet mango flavor of the pepper would probably work with the sweet syrup.
