House Made Hot Sauce Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Peppers

   Wash all the peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and cut them in half. For extra heat, keep the seeds in the Habanero peppers.

2. 2

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and sauté the minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Peppers

   Add the prepared peppers to the saucepan with the garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the peppers are softened.

4. 4

   Blend the Mixture

   Transfer the cooked pepper and garlic mixture to a blender. Add the vinegar, salt, sugar, and water. Blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Strain (Optional)

   For a smoother hot sauce, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.

6. 6

   Bottle and Store

   Pour the hot sauce into sterilized bottles or jars. Seal and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
