Homemade Red Hot Sauce Food

HOMEMADE RED HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the arbol peppers, guajillo peppers, and garlic in a saucepan with the water. Turn the heat to high, and once the water starts boiling, turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft. Due to the fumes, the peppers will give off, make sure your windows are open or turn on the exhaust fan.
• Remove saucepan from heat and allow to drop to room temperature. Once it has cooled, place the peppers, garlic, spices, dried herbs, vinegar, and one cup of the cooking water into a blender. Puree until you have a very fine texture.
• Pour this mixture into a glass container using a strainer, to remove any pieces of pepper skins left.
• Pour the mixture into the saucepan again, turn to medium-high heat, and gently simmer for about 5 minutes. This is just enough time to reduce the salsa to the desired consistency and allow the spices' flavors to blend. Again, don't forget to have the windows open and/or the kitchen exhaust fan on.
• Allow cooling. Pour the sauce into a sterilized bottle and secure with an airtight cap or lid.
• You can use this sauce immediately, although the flavors will be better about two weeks later. This sauce can last stored in your refrigerator for about 6 months. Enjoy!

CLASSIC RED SAUCE

Steps:

• Puree the tomatoes to a smooth, creamy consistency in a food processor or with an immersion blender. (If you like a more country feel, you can wait and break them up in the pan later with a wooden spoon.)
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. When hot, add the onion and saute 5 to 6 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until you see the color start changing. If you'd like to make the sauce spicy, add the red pepper flakes.
• Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer about 30 minutes. (If you did not puree the tomatoes, use a wooden spoon to break them into pieces while they cook.) Strive for balance in the consistency of the sauce: It has to be fluid, but it should not look overly wet. Add the basil and remove from the heat. Toss with just-cooked pasta.

HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup water, vinegar, pequin peppers, arbol peppers, garlic, paprika, onion flakes, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until the mixture reaches 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) and keep at that temperature for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature in the blender, about 15 minutes.
• Combine 2 tablespoons cold water and xanthan gum in a small bowl. Add to blender with pepper mixture and puree for 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 9 months.

RED CHILE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pulse Fresno and habanero chiles, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and let sit at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours (this will both develop the chile flavor and soften the flesh, resulting in a smooth flavorful sauce when puréed).
• Purée chile mixture and vinegar in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
• Do Ahead
• Sauce can be made 2 months ahead. Cover and chill.

COPYCAT FRANKS RED HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• USING FRESH CAYENNE PEPPERS.
• There are two different ways to prepare this sauce. You can use fresh cayenne peppers, or you can use cayenne peppers from your garden that you have canned.
• If you're using fresh cayenne peppers, simply remove the ends and measure all of the ingredients into a small saucepan.
• Heat over medium heat until boiling.
• Reduce the heat slightly, but so the mixture continues to boil.
• Simmer about 20-25 minutes.
• Remove the mixture from heat, carefully pour it into a blender & puree until thick and smooth.
• Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and simmer another 15 minutes.
• USING CANNED CAYENNE PEPPERS.
• If you're using canned cayenne peppers, which is what we used in this particular recipe --.
• In a blender add 18 peppers, 1 cup of vinegar (we used the juice from our home-canned peppers), garlic, salt, and garlic powder.
• Cover and puree until smooth.
• Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• The sauce is much better if you allow the flavors to marry overnight in the fridge, but if you don't have enough time to let it marinate overnight it will still turn out great wings!

RED-HOT TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, stirring so that it does not brown, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring another minute.
• Add crushed tomatoes and their liquid. Season with salt, pepper, and red-pepper flakes. Add 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened and has a deep, rich tomato flavor, about 20 minutes. Stir in basil just before serving.
