As New Englander , I am a wimp when it comes to hot peppers . Yet every now and again I care hot gamy intellectual nourishment . In this recipe I evoke cayenne , which is not too hot , that provide a courteous counterpoint to the dulcet maple syrup and the tangy Chinese parsley and cumin . If you prefer a hot pepper , substitute with a habanero and a jalapeno .

This formula makes more than you will necessitate for one seance , so project to divvy up it with friends and send them home with leftovers ( or can it in jolt for use at a late day of the month if you are so disposed ! ) . When fresh , it will keep for a calendar week in the icebox . When canned , it will keep for a year .
