Chili paste?

SidewinderINC · 03-09-2009, 20:10

I've grown a good few chilis this year, mostly cayennes - but have a few tabasco plants too.

I want to make a paste out of the cayennes so that I can keep it for a good while and add it to sauces etc. etc. and all recipes say the same thing

"stick in a blender, with enough vinegar to keep it moist, add some sugar and put in a sterile jar"

What type of vinegar should I be using?

I used balsamic to make the chutney as the recipe was very specific about that, but I think it would be way too strong for using in a plain chili paste.
