We really enjoy this spread and use it like bruschetta or on those little, crispy bagel rounds you can buy at the deli. Of course, it works with the ubiquitous crackers and cream cheese, and it's smashing on a turkey or ham sandwich.

In fact, one of my favorite ways to use it is on a veggie sandwich.....croissant spread with soft cheese, cucumbers, red onions and roasted red pepper spread. Life is good.

P.S. I think you can use hot chilies as long as you keep the ratios the same. Perhaps one of the master canners can elaborate. You could always throw in some dried, crushed red pepper.

Thanks you sandwich sounds yummy! Crushed red pepper flakes is what I was thinking, but I also have some different hot peppers so was thinking of trying some of them, but don't want to have something that is unsafe!

Sure, you can use any type of pepper you want. The pH scales don't differentiate between sweet or hot - they do, however, list green peppers separately (slightly higher/less acid).

Ok, cool! Has anyone tried using different kinds of peppers for the spread?(thanks)
