1 tsp dried bird chilies about 20
3/4 cup medium-dry sherry, up to 1


Drop chilies into a sterilized cruet. Using a funnel, pour in enough sherry to fill the cruet. Seal and let stand at room temperature for 2 to 3 days to allow flavors to develop. (The pepper wine will keep in the refrigerator indefinitely. Top it off with additional sherry as needed)
Makes 3/4 to 1 cup.
