Hatteras Red Hot
NOTE: Sip this jalapeño-infused wine slowly. The heat sneaks up on you. If you can stand an extra-spicy wine, use more peppers and allow them to macerate in the wine for a longer period of time. The peppery flavor of this wine also makes it a nice choice for cooking. Try it in marinades for grilled meats.
Ingredients:
- 1 or 2 fresh jalapeño peppers
- 1 bottle Duplin Hatteras Red wine
Directions:
- Wash jalapeño peppers and remove their stems.
- Slice jalapeños into ¼-inch-thick rings.
- Uncork wine. Drop sliced jalapeños directly into the bottle. Replace cork and refrigerate wine overnight.
- Serve wine in shot glasses if you would like to pass around samples at a party. You could also pour the wine directly over ice. For a fizzy drink, place ice in a 12-ounce glass. Fill the glass halfway with sparkling water or a lemon-lime soda such as Sprite. Fill the glass the rest of the way full with the jalapeño-infused wine. Garnish with candied jalapeños, if desired and serve with a straw.
- Makes 1 bottle of wine.
