HOT PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• ***Caution - you must wear food-safe gloves when preparing this***.
• Wearing gloves, seed and chop the chile peppers.
• Simmer vinegar, salt and peppers in a large saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes. ***BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREATHE THE FUMES***.
• Let cool and then process in a blender until smooth.
• Store in a glass bottle and age for at least 3 months.
• Strain sauce into small bottles for gifts or for home use.

HOMEMADE RED HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the peppers, garlic, onions, salt and oil in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft and almost all of the liquid has evaporated. (Note: this should be done in a very well-ventilated area!) Remove from the heat and allow to steep until mixture comes to room temperature. In a food processor, puree the mixture for 15 seconds, or until smooth. With the food processor running, add the vinegar through the feed tube in a steady stream.
• Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. (This will depend on the heat level of the peppers you use as well as the brand of vinegar used.) Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then transfer to a sterilized pint jar or bottle and secure with an airtight lid. Refrigerate. Let age at least 2 weeks before using. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

AMAZING HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Wear food-safe kitchen gloves when handling peppers! Trust me on this one. Wash your peppers and let dry.
• We're going to char the peppers on the stove to deepen their flavor and to make the peppers easier to peel. Put the peppers on a rack that's set right on the stove burner. Turn on the range fan so you don't inhale burning pepper fumes.
• After all the peppers are charred, let them cool for a few minutes. Rub the peels off with your fingers (it's OK if you can't get all of the peels off) and discard. Remove the seeds from the peppers if you'd like your sauce to have a milder flavor.
• Cut the tops off the peppers, and put all ingredients into a saucepan. Bring the sauce ingredients to a gentle boil. This will infuse the flavors into the vinegar and soften the peppers and garlic.
• Let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• When the mixture is cool, puree thoroughly with a stick blender or conventional blender until smooth.
• Store in a clean, recycled jar in the fridge for up to a month.

PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the butter in a large, high-sided frying pan, then fry the shallots and peppercorns over a medium heat for 5 mins, until the shallots have softened but not browned. Add the brandy and cook until it has reduced away to almost nothing.
• Pour the wine into the pan, turn up the heat and boil rapidly until reduced by half. Add the stock and reduce again, this time by two-thirds, this will take around 5 mins. Stir the cream into the sauce and allow it to thicken slightly. Check the sauce is seasoned to your liking before serving with steak.

HOT PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Scrape down the sides and add the olive oil. Blend until very smooth. Add the parsley and basil and blend until small specks of herbs are visible. Stir in the honey if using.
• Transfer to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until thickened and darkened by a shade or two, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a glass jar with a lid. Top with a thin layer of olive and the lid. The sauce will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator, as long as it is covered with oil.

HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE (FERMENTED OR QUICK COOK RECIPE)

Steps:

• Place the peppers and garlic in a clean wide-mouth quart canning jar. Set aside.
• To make the brine, heat the filtered water and sea salt in a medium saucepan until the salt has dissolved completely. Let cool to room temperature.
• Pour the brine over the peppers and garlic, completely submerging them. If you run out of brine, you can make more by mixing 1 cup of warm filtered water with 1 teaspoon of sea salt.
• Fit the jar with a fermentation lid or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band (see notes on weighing down the peppers if using cheesecloth). Place in a warm, dark spot for 5-7 days, or until the brine looks cloudy and small bubbles begin to appear when you tap the side of the jar. Make sure the peppers stay submerged under the brine during the entire fermentation process to prevent mold-growth.
• When the fermentation time is up, strain the brine, reserving it. Place the fermented peppers and garlic in a blender, and add in 1 cup of the brine, plus the apple cider vinegar, and honey or maple syrup, if using. Blend until completely smooth, adding in additional brine to reach the desired thickness.
• While the blender is running, sprinkle in the xanthan gum, if using, and blend for an additional minute.
• Transfer to a bottle and store in the fridge for 3-6 months.
• Combine the peppers, garlic, 2 cups of water, 2 teaspoons of sea salt, apple cider vinegar, and honey or maple syrup, if using, in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers and garlic have softened.
• Pour mixture into a blender (making sure to leave the cover vent open, but covered with a kitchen towel) and blend until very smooth.
• While the blender is running, sprinkle in the xanthan gum, if using, and blend for an additional minute.
• Transfer mixture to a squeeze bottle and store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, chile peppers, habaneros to taste and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes, vinegar, salt and sugar to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 5 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the tomato mixture to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot ingredients.) Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; pour the pureed mixture through the sieve, pushing on the solids with a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. (Discard solids.) Let the sauce cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.

HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Put everything except the xanthan gum (if using) into a blender and puree for 1-2 minutes. You really want everything blitzed here, so if your blender heats up too much in 2 minutes, stop, let it cool, and continue.
• Pour the xanthan gum that's been mixed with the water into the blender, cover and buzz for another 30 seconds.
• Pour into a bowl or large jar and let this settle for 1 hour to allow all the trapped air you introduced into the sauce while blending to escape. If you skip this step your sauce will not hold together as well. Bottle and store in the fridge for up to 9 months.

PRESERVED HOT PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill 1 (14 oz.) glass jar with 1 cup red and green Thai chile peppers (or other peppers of your choice), stemmed, filling to about 1 inch from top of jar.

• Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
• Pour hot mixture over peppers in jar. Cover and chill 3 weeks. Store in refrigerator up to 6 months.
• Note: Chilling for 3 weeks allows the peppers to fire up the vinegar mixture. The longer it sits, the spicier it becomes.
• Remember to wear rubber gloves when filling the jars with peppers.

EASY CREAMY PEPPER SAUCE

HOMEMADE HOT PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the green tops off all the peppers. Discard tops and set peppers aside.
• Slightly smash each clove of garlic just enough that the paper loosens; remove the paper and discard it.
• In a medium, non-reactive (i.e. stainless steel, ceramic, or glass) pot, add the prepared peppers and garlic cloves. Pour in the vinegar and lime juice then add the salt, paprika, and bay leaf. Stir together to mix in the salt and paprika.
• Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the peppers are soft.
• Remove from the heat and add to a food processor or heat safe blender (no need to remove bay leaf). Pulse until smooth and liquidy (be CAREFUL--it is HOT), adding more vinegar if necessary to make it more liquid.
• Smoosh through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl and discard any seeds and large chunks left in the sieve.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least one week prior to using.

ROASTED PEPPER HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler, line a baking sheet with foil, and put on disposable gloves.
• Cut the stems off all peppers. Cut the red bell pepper in half and removing the stem and seeds. With regard to the hot peppers: some people like to remove the seeds, but because this is hot sauce and the seeds make it hot, I leave mine in but use your own discretion. I also like to use a mix of peppers - Jalepeno, Serrano, Cayenne, Tabasco, Habanero. I also like to toss in a few sweet peppers, along with the bell pepper, because I like the depth of flavor. I really like the smokey, roasted taste of the sweet peppers along with the heat of the hot peppers.
• Put all peppers on the baking sheet and slip them into the oven at the closest position to the broiler. Broil 5-10 minutes or until the peppers are blackened and bubbly. Flip the peppers over with tongs and put them back into the broiler for another 5 minutes to blacken the other side of the peppers. Remove from oven.
• Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the skins of your peppers. I usually leave the skins on really thin peppers, like Tabascos - Mostly because when you try to peel off the skin, all that are left are the seeds! Toss all peppers into the blender. Add vinegar, salt, and juice half of a lime directly into the blender. Puree until completely liquefied and uniform.
• Mason or Ball jars make great storage. Keep in the refrigerator or freeze for later. Thaw frozen hot sauce in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

CARIBBEAN HOT PEPPER SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Put the peppers and salt in a food processor and pulse until the peppers are minced finely. Scrape down the sides of the bowl from time to time.
• Once the peppers are chopped pretty finely, let the processor keep whirling and pour just enough of the vinegar through the chute to moisten the peppers and give it the consistency of a thick sauce.
• Pour the hot sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars and cover with airtight lids. Store the finished product in a cool place or in your refrigerator until the flavors meld together nicely. Or you can place your bottles of pepper sauce in the sun for two to three days to ripen quickly and then store in a cool place. If there's no sun where you are, let the pepper sauce cure for at least five days before use so that the flavors can develop.
