Spicy Pickled

                                  Polish sausage



                                         Ingredients

                                          (Makes 1 quart)


               ½ cup water
               2 cups white vinegar
               1 tbsp kosher salt
               1 ½ tsp cayenne
               1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
               1 tsp fine ground black pepper
               10 black pepper corns
               1 tsp paprika
               1 tbsp minced white onion
               2 crushed garlic cloves
               1 habanera or ghost pepper
               2 lbs good kielbasa or polish sausage



                                         Lagniappe



               In a medium sauce pan combine the water, vinegar, and salt and bring to a
               boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for two minutes, remove from heat and
               set aside.

               Arrange and pack the sausages in a clean mason jar

               Distribute all the spices on top of the sausages. Add the minced garlic and
               onion. If you’re using a hot pepper, stick it down in the center of the jar.

               Pour the hot vinegar over the sausages, seal the jar and allow about a week
               for the sausages to pickle.

               NOTE: this is also great brine for pickling hard-boiled eggs; just add a tbsp
               of sugar and a little more paprika
