Vinegar Chili Onion Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Sterilize jar and lid:
• Wash jar, lid, and screw band in hot soapy water, then rinse well. Dry screw band. Put empty jar on a rack in a boiling-water canner or a deep 5- to 6-quart pot and add enough hot water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, covered, then boil 10 minutes. Remove canner from heat, leaving jar in water. Heat lid in water to cover by 2 inches in a small saucepan until thermometer registers 180°F (do not let boil). Remove from heat. Keep jar and lid submerged in hot water, covered, until ready to use.
• Make chile vinegar:
• Carefully remove jar and lid with tongs, then drain jar upside down on a clean kitchen towel and dry lid.
• Pack chiles into jar. Bring vinegar to a boil in small saucepan, then remove from heat and pour over chiles. Cool to room temperature. Wipe off rim of jar with a dampened clean kitchen towel, then top with lid and firmly screw on screw band. Chill sealed jar 2 weeks.
• Make dipping sauce:
• Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then stir in red-pepper flakes (if using), 2 tablespoons chile vinegar, and salt to taste. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir sweet onion in hot butter until browned, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add mayonnaise to the onion and stir; pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over the mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until the top is bubbling and lightly golden, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl and leave for 30 minutes to steep.
