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.

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

I love the container, but I can't remove the labels I believe they are printed on the plastic. This is a bit hot, and has a very good pepper flavor. Let it rest over night and it mellows out. The flavours mingles together well!

I am so happy that I finally nailed an everyday SoCal taco shop red hot sauce! For a while I've been trying different things to get that taste that I grew up with in Southern California's taco shops and I just seem to miss something every time. But not this time! This is a medium red sauce so everyone should be able to handle the heat level and it has a very unique, almost sweet taste mixing habanero and serrano peppers. I hope you enjoy!

I started up this little hot sauce biz about a year ago. Time to get started again. With this one, had a nice little crop of Carolina Reapers. It’s not too crazy hot...if you’re a pepper head like me.

hot with a touch of sweet

HOT! :ohyeaah

it's that time of year when everything is ripening in my garden and I have HUGE amounts of habeneros and carrots, after. playing around with a few hot sauce ideas I came to this one and its amazing!

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.
