Steps:
- To draw out excess liquid and increase crunch, toss cucumbers and onion with salt in a large colander. Add ice, and toss again. Place over a bowl, and refrigerate, tossing occasionally, for 3 hours. Drain. Rinse well, and drain again.
- Bring vinegar, sugar, mustard and celery seeds, peppercorns, turmeric, and red-pepper flakes to a boil in a saucepan. Add cucumbers and onion. Return to a boil (if using squashes, add them, then remove from heat; do not return to a boil).
- Ladle into 3 hot sterilized pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch below each jar's neck. Wipe rims of jars with a clean, damp cloth; cover tightly with sterilized lids and screw tops. Using tongs or a jar clamp, transfer jars to a rack in a large canning pot or a large, deep pot filled with hot water, being sure to keep jars upright at all times. (Jars should be spaced 1 inch apart, and should not touch sides of pot.) Cover with water by 1 inch. Cover pot, and bring to a boil. Process jars in boiling water for 10 minutes. Let cool. Press down on each lid. If lid pops back, it's not sealed; refrigerate unsealed jars immediately, and use within 1 month. Sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

SPICY CORN ON THE COB WITH MISO BUTTER AND CHIVES
Corn slathered in miso butter is special enough, so you're within your rights to ignore any other ingredients in this recipe. But for lovers of spice, the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi is worth seeking out. In English, it translates to "seven-flavor chile pepper," though not all of those seven flavors are chile: There's also roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, ground ginger and seaweed in the mix. Add it gradually, so as not to overpower the subtle flavor of the miso butter (and because everyone likes a different amount of spice). If you can't find shichimi togarashi, substitute crushed red-pepper flakes.

HONEY-MARINATED BEEF SATAY WITH SPICY BUTTER SAUCE
Steps:
- Soak the bamboo or wooden skewers in water for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and pat dry. With a sharp knife, cut the steak into 24 long, thin strips. Thread 1 strip onto each skewer, weaving the skewer back and forth along the length of each steak strip. Arrange the skewers on a large platter or baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
- About 30 minutes before you wish to grill the skewers, combine the soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, cumin, turmeric, and oil in a small bowl. Pour this marinade over the steak skewers, turning to coat the meat evenly. Leave the steak skewers to marinate at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat a hinged grill or panini maker, according to the manufacturer's instructions, or preheat a broiler, outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the garlic cloves and blanch them in the boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute to remove some of their harshness. Drain the cloves well, pat them dry with paper towels, and chop them finely. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and green onion and saute just until they begin to soften and smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the stock, soy sauce, honey, hoisin or barbecue sauce, and chili flakes and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Pour the sauce through a strainer into a clean pan and, over medium heat, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, a little bit at a time. Keep warm.
- Grill the skewers (in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding) until cooked through and nicely browned, about 2 minutes total on a hinged grill or panini maker or 2 minutes per side in the broiler, in a grill pan, or on an outdoor grill (1 minute if you want the meat rare). Take care that the skewers don't prevent a hinged grill or panini maker from closing properly. Transfer to a platter, pour on the sauce, and serve; or serve with the sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips:
- Use high-quality butter: The quality of your butter will greatly impact the flavor of your spicy butter. Look for a butter that is made from fresh, sweet cream and has a high fat content (82% or higher).
- Use fresh spices: Fresh spices will give your spicy butter the best flavor. If you can, grind your own spices just before using them.
- Toast your spices: Toasting your spices will bring out their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, until they are fragrant.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique blend. Some popular spices that go well in spicy butter include chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
- Adjust the heat level to your liking: The amount of spice you add to your butter is up to you. If you like it hot, add more spice. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less spice.
- Let the butter cool before using: Once you have made your spicy butter, let it cool completely before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and will make it easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Spicy butter is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on bread or toast, used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chicken, or added to recipes for a spicy kick. With so many different ways to make it, you're sure to find a spicy butter recipe that you love.
