Step 1

Remove the pepper stem. Slice the peppers in half or into quarters, small enough to fit into the jar or container you are using.

Step 2

Stuff the peppers into an 8-ounce bottle or jar.

Step 3

Add cloves, peppercorns, cilantro stems and lime juice.

Step 4

Fill the container the rest of the way up with vinegar, leaving a bit of head space.

Step 5

Cap and give it a good shake.

Step 6

Let it sit out anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks to allow the heat and flavor to develop. Refill as needed with more vinegar and peppers.
