Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups small peppers, any variety washed and dried
  • 1½ cups white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and left whole, optional
  • 1 Tablespoon whole black peppercorns optional

Instructions
 

  • Place clean peppers in small bottles.
  • Bring vinegar to a boil and then stir in sugar and salt until it dissolves.
  • Add peppercorns and garlic to bottles, if desired.
  • Pour hot vinegar over peppers.
  • Close up tightly and let peppers "pickle" for 5-7 days before using pepper sauce.

Notes

This is about enough to make two small bottles of pepper sauce, but can easily be cut in half or doubled, depending on how many fresh peppers are available.
