I recently heard of something called "chile brine"/"chili brine" which is used in an Asian brand of pickled papayas. It gives the effect of a hot splash on your tongue before the sweet taste of the fruit comes through.
I didn't get the recipe to the pickled papayas, but want to try to recreate it. I have never made brine before, and I am not really even sure what it is. How am I supposed to go about making it, and how would I make a hot chile version of it?

You might want to ask this also at rec.food.preserving. I'd look in my pickle books but they're all packed away pending a remodel job. Edrena, novice pickler.
