Easy Smoked hot pepper sauce
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
15 sweet cherry peppers
12 or so Tabasco peppers with seeds
5 Jalapeños with seeds
2 Reapers with seeds
Salt, sugar and black pepper to taste
White vinegar to cover mixture
Smoke peppers and garlic thoroughly. I use fruit wood. DO NOT BREATHE SMOKE, WEAR GLOVES FOR HANDLING SMOKED REAPER PEPPERS AND DO NOT TOUCH EYES! Chop onion and throw everything into blender. Pour in vinegar and blend until very smooth.
This sauce is dangerous. I use it like Tabasco.
Post it up!!Hot sauce or Salsa? My wife makes killer Salsa.........
Hell yeah, Louisiana style sauce is aged peppers, Texas Pete, TabascoI make a lot of hot sauce. This is not salsa, but just plain hot sauce. And not really a recipe, more of a technique. I grow and dry my peppers, red or green. Take the dried peppers and cram as many as you can into a mason jar. Fill the jar with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar. I place them in the fridge for at least a couple years, marking all jars with the year and type of pepper. (My favorites are habanero, cayenne and Thai Dragon.). When ready, place the whole mess in a blender and let 'er rip. Grind it up real well. Then run through a SS kitchen sieve. Place the liquid in a sauce pan and start heating slowly. Add salt to your taste, usually about a tsp per pint of liquid. Cook this until the desired taste and consistency. I freeze them in pucks, vacuum seal and freeze.
I have not. I usually leave it in the fridge for a couple weeks. I assume fermentation would only make it better.Have you ever fermented it?
I used to have a whole indoor hydroponic system in my shed for them. My landlord thought I was growing weed for the longest time.Growing peppers gets me through the long wait between turkeys and pronghorn, this guy has tons of information
