The "putting by" bug has hit hard this year. Today Jenny and I are freezing corn, and I hope to make this recipe for hot pepper butter afterwards.A couple years ago I got this recipe from my work buddy Betty. Although it looked interesting, I didn't think a whole lot of it until she gave me a jar to try. It really gives a good zing to a sandwich, and there's nothing on my grocery's shelves like it. I want to save a couple jars for myself and put one in each of the guy's stockings at Christmastime.
Now this calls for small hot peppers, and I'm not sure whether it's meant for jalapenos or banana peppers. Betty used banana peppers with some good old green peppers she had on hand.
HOT PEPPER BUTTER
42 small hot peppers to make 2 cups, chop fine
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups yellow mustard
4 cups vinegar
6 cups sugar
1 cup flour (white)
1 1/2 cups water
Mix peppers, salt, mustard, vinegar, and sugar together in a large pan. Bring almost to a boil. Combine flour and water to make a smooth paste. Stir into pepper mixture. Bring to a boil and let cook for five minutes. Jar and seal. Makes 6 - 7 pints.

This does sound good! I pickled our banana peppers but let so many of our hot peppers go to waste. I enjoy having something like this for the winter months.
Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Oh this sounds tasty, thank you for sharing! Do you suppose the flour is for thickening, interesting ingredient I think? You have been one busy gal with your "putting" with food, but it makes perfect sense, and is good planning! Have a wonderful weekend, thank you for your message, it means so much to me! Blessings to you from my part of PA!
Thanks for sharing the recipe. There's nothing like homemade gifts.
Shane will love this! He LOVES hot things. I on the other hand find green peppers to spicy so I doubt I'll be eating any - but I know he'll love it. Hope you and Jenn have lots of fun today. I wish we had some corn to put away!
Oh this sounds so wonderful. I love banana peppers. I have a simple appetizer using them. Cut up as many as you want, add to a softened block of cream cheese. Bake 350 'til bubbly. Serve with crackers - yummy!
Hope that you are enjoying your weekend!

We have tons of those growing in our garden. I am going to have to try that. Lately I have just been cooking them in zucchini and tomatoes.
Have a great day!
Yummmy, this does sound delicious, with the hot/sour/sweet taste that I love..
Thanks for sharing!
Wow...now this is very different. I'm going to share this with my daughter...they love pepper stuff!!

This does sound good. My pepper bushes are going crazy this year and I wasn't sure what to do with them all. I will give this a try!
You are one rockin' recipe mama!! I would slop that pepper butter on EVERYTHING - YUMMMM! And I saw the blueberry cake and I just have to say that blueberries are my all time fav - can't wait to print these out and put them with my "special recipes". ♥
