Korean Jalapeno Peppers (From Misuk A Korean Friend)

2 Cups Vinegar
1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Brown Sugar

Bring to boil, pour over peppers. Close lid and eat in about 2 weeks.

***********************

SQ's Onion Jam

10 sweet red Italian onions
3 hot Thai chillies
1 Tbsp dark brown palm sugar (gula Melaka, gula Djawa, or Jaggery)
1.5 tsp hot red chilli powder
20 pitted Medjool dates
~5 lemons
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp salt
1 cup boiling water
~3 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil

Halve the onions and slice in "angel wings" (lengthwise) thinly. Juice and
zest the lemons. Thinly slice the chillies. Cover dates with boiling water
for about 10 minutes, then process dates and water to a smooth liquid.
Slice lemon zest in thin shreds.

Heat the oil on high, add the onions, stir once, cover, and cook for about
10 minutes. Uncover, stir, and cook covered about 10 minutes more (check it
every five minutes to be sure nothing is burning or stuck to the bottom of
the pan). Add salt to taste, cover, and cook 10 minutes more. Add ground
cumin and coriander, stir to mix, and cook covered about 10 minutes more or
until the onions have caramelized and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Add
sugar, stir, add red chilli powder, stir, add lemon juice, stir, breaking
up the onions with a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add dates
and water, stir, and cook about 15 minutes. Adjust seasonings again, if
needed, and serve, sprinkled with lemon zest.

You should have about four cups of a thick, rich, sweet, hot, and tangy
jammy substance. Yum!

Wonderful with a bitter fish curry over brown rice, or methi thepla (bread
cooked with bitter herbs). Yum!

Kansas City - Style Sauce
Recipe By : Paul Kirk - modified slightly by Bill Wight

This sauce is good on just about anything, even gives Spam a real kick.
This is my stock barbecue sauce. Ingredients

* 1 cup light brown sugar -- packed
* 3 tablespoons mild chile powder
* 1 tablespoon dry mustard
* 1 1/4 teaspoons ginger -- ground
* 3/4 teaspoon allspice -- ground
* 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/3 teaspoon mace -- ground
* 1/3 teaspoon black pepper -- freshly ground
* 1 1/4 cups white distilled vinegar
* 1/3 cup molasses
* 40 ounces ketchup

Preparation

In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, chili seasoning, mustard,
ginger, allspice, cayenne, mace, and black pepper. Add the vinegar,
molasses, water, and liquid smoke, if using. Stir until dry ingredients are
dissolved. Add the ketchup and stir to mix.

Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to avoid spattering.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Let stand in refrigerator 24 hours before using.

Store in refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Bill's notes: I have made this sauce many times and I have found that it
always tastes a little 'metallic' at the time I make it. After 24 hours in
the refrigerator, it has mellowed and tastes great.
