Hot Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Remove the stems from the Fresno and Habañero peppers. If you prefer less heat, you can remove some or all of the seeds from the Habañero peppers.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the Fresno peppers, Habañero peppers, garlic cloves, white vinegar, salt, sugar, and water. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Sauce

    Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Cool and Store

    Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool. Once cooled, transfer to a clean bottle or jar and store in the refrigerator.
