Apricot Hot Pepper Dipping Sauce

Dips make everything taste better. And a quick and easy dipping sauce is all that this is. You probably have the ingredients available in your house right now, seriously- go look.

This dip works on all versions of grilled meats or as a great sandwich dip. Mix it up and see if you can find a fat and happy way to dip into it.

Tips and techniques:  I used jarred, pickled hot banana peppers because it's what I had available, but if you have fresh pepper please use them!
