I like hot sauces and grew my own ghost peppers so it was only natural to make my own hot sauce. Be careful! This one will burn your mouth off!

I looked around on the net for an easy recipe. I found many though I'm not keen to blister and peel 10 ounces of chilies; and I don't want any raw garlic or onions in it as I have read if they are not cooked or preserved properly it can cause botulism. So I decided to make Ehmeril Lagasse's version...

This refers to my “fermented hot pepper” recipe. After learning how to do, and the importance of, fermenting peppers before making a hot sauce, IMO there is no other way to make this other thank starting with fermented peppers

My Pepper plants are getting ridiculous. They’re not even plants anymore, they’re trees. Well, maybe shrubs. But they’re inside, so they’re like redwoods. Normally, I just dehydrate the peppers and make chili flakes. But I decided to try a hot sauce. It’s edible, good even. Haha. The orange ones are habaneros and the red ones are what I believe to be regular, grocery store variety red peppers. I remember being pissed off about how expensive they were and I threw some in the garden. Then, those peppers started growing. They’re not spicy.

This ~HOT~ sauce tastes very sweet at first and then comes on strong and spicy! >:) >:) >:)

good to the last drop

No Trinidad table is complete without a bottle of hot sauce --here we make a variety of hot sauces using green mangoes, Papaya , mustard , garlic and green herbs !!

This doesn't blow your head off with heat, but gives a nice citrus burst with spiciness on the back end. NOTE: If you can't find Jimmy Nardello peppers, you can use 1/4 of a red bell pepper.

hot with a touch of sweet

I created this recipe because I was always disappointed with my local selection of mass produced unhealthy hot sauce options. Hot sauce is a very hard thing to mess up and can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. This recipe is fairly simple and utilizes all natural and fresh ingredients with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The sweet and tart characteristics of the passion fruit and grapefruit pair well with the citrus heat of the habanero peppers while the Thai peppers add a little extra kick. The Anaheim pepper is naturally on the sweeter and more mild side and balances out the flavor of the other two peppers very nicely. The heat is strong but does not linger.
