For hundreds of years, a staple at the dinner table has been hot sauce. Just about anyone can enjoy the sauces as the condiment is made from any pepper on the planet. Discovering your favorite hot sauce can be a very tasty journey as no two peppers make the same tasting sauce. Once a favorite is found, however, it can be cheaply and easily made so you can keep your addiction an inexpensive one.
The most crucial factor of creating hot sauce is the peppers that are used. Every type of hot pepper will create a different result. For those who like more mild sauces, Jalapenos and Poblanos can be used. More risky eaters will love the heat that Habanero and Serrano's provide.
The rest of the ingredients can be gathered after the peppers that will be used have been chosen. One to two and a half pounds of the chosen peppers will be needed, depending on how mild or hot you wish your sauce to be. You'll also need an onion, tomato sauce, and crushed red peppers. For taste, garlic and vinegar will be needed as well.
To begin, dice the onion into dime sized pieces. You'll be blending them in a bit, so they don't have to be minuscule. Mince an entire clove of garlic and set the two ingredients aside for now.
It is now time to mix the onions and garlic into the tomato sauce. Chop the peppers into smaller pieces and add them to mixture as well. Remember that the quantity of peppers is directly correlated to the hot sauce's intensity. It's also a good idea to wear rubber gloves while handling them to prevent getting any on your skin or in your eyes. Add the chopped peppers to your tomato sauce concoction.
In a large blender, blend the ingredients until there are no visible lumps. Put the mixture into a metal cooking pot and heat on the stove until its contents begin to boil. After pouring in the vinegar, remove the metal pot from the stove and stir it thoroughly.
The sauce will need to be stored in an airtight bottle or jar. You can purchase new jars from a department store or use rinsed out condiment bottles. You can enjoy and easily store your hot sauce after it has been bottled. Anything goes great with hot sauce. Everything from mashed potatoes to scrambled eggs can benefit from the right sauce.
Remember to keep your personal tolerance to heat in mind when choosing peppers to use for the sauce. You can find out which peppers are right for you and which are just too hot by doing your homework ahead of time. Before cooking, sample various kinds of peppers so you'll know how much heat you can stand. Don't go overboard with the Habanero's even if you enjoy their spicy taste. And lastly, to keep it from accidentally leaking out or getting dried out, keep your newly made sauce properly stored.
