One of the great things about growing your own vegetables is using them in ways that allow you to enjoy them well past harvest time. Canning is certainly a great option, and so are herb butter compounds (I'll tell you about that in another post!), but I have an easy fun way to use jalepeno peppers:
Jalepeno Vodka
- Pick 2 jalepenos from your garden (or from the grocery store!)
- Wash thoroughly, slice in half
- Open a bottle of vodka
- Put the jalepenos into the bottle, close bottle.
- Place vodka bottle in a cool dark place for at least 1 week.
Jalepeno Vodka Bloody Mary (Serves 2 )
Juice of 2 large lemons
15 shakes of Tabasco Sauce
1/2 t Worchestershire Sauce
Generous pinch of Kosher Salt
Several grinds of Peppercorn Medley
4 oz Jalepeno Vodka
8 oz Spicy Hot V8 Vegetable Juice
2 Lemon Wedges and Scallions for garnish
- Pour first 6 ingredients into a tall glass container (do not use plastic or metal)
- Add V8 Juice
- Pour mixture into another glass of the same size, and back again, to mix. (Do not use metal utensils.)
- Pour into 2 ice-filled glasses, and garnish with lemon wedge and scallion.
- Serve.
