Pepper Vinegar

Ingredients

• 1 dozen pepper pods (ripe)
• 3 pints vinegar

Instructions

1. Get one dozen pods of pepper when ripe, take out the stems, and cut them in two.
2. Put them in a kettle with three pints of vinegar and boil it away to one quart.
3. Strain it through a sieve.
4. A little of this is excellent in gravy of every kind, and gives a flavour greatly superior to black pepper. It is also very fine when added to each of the various catsups for fish sauce.
