Oooh, I do George's Habanero Olives every year for our 'holiday' dinner at
work.  They go over real well.  Lots of folks just love them, then there are
the few who can't/don't read the little marker card placed in front of them
that explains that they are hab stuffed olives - extremely hot!, not the
pimiento stuffed variety.  It's always fun to see expressions on those faces
& hear their comments!  No, I'm really not a masochist, I just think
ignorance in this instance is entertaining.  Which reminds me, I've got a
large jar of olives in the frig now, and am picking lots of habs (thanks
Akiva & Jim for your responses to my 'mystery' peppers question), guess I
should get to stuffing olives.  Made 3 bottles of 'Mountainman'-style sauce
yesterday (hubby roasted the habs for me) but I used limes & lemons instead
of vinegar & salt.  Do you think there is enough acid in the limes/lemons to
preserve the hab mix without refrigeration?
