Recipes Using Carolina Reaper Peppers Food

CAROLINA REAPER HOT SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Set the Carolina Reaper peppers, garlic and onion on a baking sheet and bake them about 15-20 minutes, or until the skins slightly char. Keep an eye on these. You don't want them to burn, and watch out for any fumes.
• Add the peppers and onion to a food processor. Squeeze garlic out of their skins and into the food processor they go.
• Add in the vinegar and salt. Process until you get a chunky mixture. Watch out for the fumes!
• Add in a half cup of water and process again until the sauce starts to smooth out. Check it for thickness. If you'd like a thinner sauce, add in a bit more water a little at a time, processing, until you reach your desired consistency.
• If desired, you can strain the sauce to smooth it out, or use it as-is. If you do strain it, you can discard the pulp or dehydrate it to make a superhot seasoning powder.
• Pour into sterilized bottles and enjoy. The longer you let it sit, the more the flavors will meld.
