This recipe was extracted from Cassell's dictionary of cookery (1892) by Cassell & Company, page 368. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Chili Vinegar.— Cut 100 small, fresh, red chilies into halves, and infuse them for a fortnight in a quart of best pickling vinegar. Strain the liquid and put it into small bottles. The flavour of the chilies will not be entirely extracted, so the bottle may be replenished with rather less vinegar than before. It is a con- venience to have this vinegar at hand to flavour sauces, and to serve -w-ith fish, which many persons cannot eat without the addition of an acid and cayenne. Half an ounce of cayenne

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
