Hot Pepper Sherry

Ingredients

Preparation

1
Sterilize a wide mouth jar large enough to hold all of the sherry.
2
Wash and dry the peppers.
3
Pierce the peppers in several places and place them in the jar.
4
Add the garlic and peppercorns.
5
Pour in the sherry, cover, and store in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks.
6
Line a strainer with cheese cloth and using a funnel, pour the sherry into a bottle or decanter (this may be easier as a 2-step process).
7
Discard the peppercorns and the garlic. Add the habaneros to the sherry. This can be stored at room temperature, we like keeping refrigerated.
