Welcome to the cabin and introduction to making southern pepper sauce.

Mention that southern pepper sauce is a vinegar-based condiment common in the South.

State that white vinegar is preferred, but apple cider vinegar can be used.

Show the decorative jar with a narrow neck and pour spout, emphasizing the need for a clean and dry jar.

Optional: Add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric for color and nutritional value.

Emphasize not to mix water with vinegar to avoid souring or mold.

Begin by adding the peppers to the jar in a colorful pattern.

Warm the vinegar without boiling it, then pour it into the jar until it reaches the shoulder of the jar, estimating the amount needed based on the peppers.

Seal the jar with a cork and let it sit in the pantry for a few days to infuse the flavors.
