Homemade Hot Sauce

AJP · 03-30-2010, 12:04 AM

I've been wanting to try my hand at hot sauce for some time now, figured why not.

I used some basic stuff and will add to for next time.
20 Red Fresno peppers
1 medium onion
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
salt
bit of oil
vinegar

Started with the peppers, I cut the tops off and sliced nice and thin

Added to a pan with the garlic, finely sliced onion and some oil

Cook for about 5-10 minutes

After about 5-10 minutes I added some water just to keep from browning everything but to let it cook down a bit, I cooked it till most of the water was gone

Finally I added it all to the food processor and zipped it till it was lump free, then added about a cup of vinegar

Bottled it up, made enough for 2 10oz bottles

Gonna let it set for about 2 weeks then should be good to go.

I sampled a bit of it and it wasnt very hot, similar to Frank's Red Hot. I think next time I will triple the garlic and maybe add one habanero or a scotch bonnet for a bit more heat.

Interesting... let us know how the final product turned out.....

So far it has a good flavor, we shall see what a bit of time does to it. The garlic is just a personal thing, and the heat was just something I wanted to try. Although as it stands heat wise should work perfect for some eggs or biscuits and gravy.

i like that. Im going to try something similar. My brother thinks he is the man because he uses diluted habaneros for carne asada. Ill surprise him:)

Gave it a small sample today, flavor is building well.

That would go over well with my kid. He LOVES hot sauce.

With my wife? Not so much. She doesn't.

Let us know how it works out.

I cook mine using vinegar instead of water. Might give it a try.

deguerre · 03-30-2010, 03:46 PM

Have you thought about adding some powered cayenne to the current batch to heaten it up a bit? It looks fantastic!

I did think of that, was worried the vinegar flavor would over power, I didn't want a Tabasco style sauce.

Seemed like cheating, besides it may heat up a bit yet.

Don't add much... a little goes a long way with that stuff!

My wife keeps it in a salt shaker just as if it was black pepper.
