Thai Hot Pepper SauceSpice up your food with this simple, homemade heat. The combination of sour vinegar with hot Thai chiles is a common condiment in Thailand (called "nam som"), but this goes along great with American food too--especially southern favorites like collard greens, fried chicken, green tomatoes, etc. Use the link below to order, and we'll send you a nice mix of red/green with ideal quality. You might want to pickup some little jars like this from a local kitchen store (we got these at Cost Plus World Market for $4), and make your own hot sauce to give away as gifts for the holiday season. MethodFill your glass jar with red and green Thai chile peppers, stemmed, filling to 1-2 inches from top of jar. Bring 1 cup white wine vinegar (as shown) or cider vinegar, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat, and let stand for about 5 minutes. Pour hot mixture over peppers in jar. Cover and chill 3 weeks, this allows the peppers to fire up the vinegar mixture. The longer it sits, the spicier it becomes. Store in refrigerator for 6 months or more.

In the June 2009 issue of Health magazine, Dr Jennifer Berman's article "Healthy Life. Great Sex. Six Foods For Better Sex" mentioned chile peppers (page 100). She states "Chile peppers can really spice things up--and not just in your mouth--thanks to capsaicin, a chemical that's been shown to induce the release of endorphins in the brain, which create a feeling of euphoria."
