Simple Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Slice the each chillies into quarters and remove the seeds and stalk. Chop the garlic into small chunks. Try not to inhale through the nose at this point although, the fumes from the scotch bonnets might make your face bleed.
- 2
In a small pot, boil the peppers and garlic in 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with the lid on until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful when opening the lid- inhaling a mix of concentrated heat and vinegar fumes is rather unpleasant.
- 3
Pour the contents of the pan into a blender add 1TBSP of sugar and 1 TSP of salt. Puree the mixture. Run the puree through a sieve back into the pan and bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer gently.

Now is the time to begin tasting.I found that my sauce needed another 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 more TSP of salt and 1TBSP of sugar and 2 TBSP of lime juice. The consistency should be a smidgen thicker than water. Stir the ingredients together.

Pour your efforts into a sterilized bottle and enjoy. If refrigerated, your sauce should keep for up to three months.

Red Hot Sauce Red Hot Sauce
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...

Habanero Hot Sauce Habanero Hot Sauce
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.

Roasted Habanero Passion Fruit Hot Sauce Roasted Habanero Passion Fruit Hot Sauce
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.

Caribbean Heat! Hot Sauce (Habanero Pineapple) Caribbean Heat! Hot Sauce (Habanero Pineapple)
You know I love the crazy spicy stuff. But the Caribbean spice is more fruitful so in order to tame the Habanero heat, I use the island favorite pineapple which also gives it a nice tang finish right before the heat hits you. (Of course, the heat level is determined by the heat of the pepper batch...this one is extra hot!)
