Why no vinegar? If it's your favorite sauce... then... you must like it in there.
I didn't know what "lone" was. I see, he means love.

Sorry to spoil your fun but acetic acid is undiluted vinegar. Vinegar is acetic acid and water.
So.. you do like vinegar in hot sauce, you just didn't know it. It gets a bad wrap because of "vinegary" sauces like Tabasco, but to me it is a necessary component in most.

here's some recipes to start with. There's one at the bottom of the page, yucatecan sauce, might be a good start for you.

And Tabasco gets a bad wrap because it's more translucent and not as thick in consistency as most, but honestly it doesn't use as much vinegar as you'd think. The strong acid flavor you taste in Tabasco is mostly lactic acid from the fermentation, but yes, it does use vinegar as well.
Oops, sorry about that. You should look into sauces containing citric acid (whether added by fruit juice or natural food additive). Although some fruit based sauces are slightly limited with their uses, there are some really tasty ones out there. There are only a handful of non-vinegar sauces, one of which is 2Hot Rocoto sauce from Peru. Good stuff.

He makes a vinegar-free sauce.

Let us know if you still want vinegar-free recipes, or if you want an El Yucateco copycat, that has vinegar.

I'm also not a big vinegar fan. I'll eat some, but generally avoid it. So yeah, that means I'm generally not a sauce fan, since so many commercial sauces use vinegar as a pH balancer. That ultimately means it's needed to extend shelf life. In turn, that also means you can make any sauce on your own that you don't plan on packaging (selling or not) without vinegar, but you do need to have an appropriate amount of liquid of some sort to get the consistency you want. Basic, basic salsa, cooked or not: tomatoes, tomatillos, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, sea salt. Maybe onion or green onion. Let that rip in a blender, and serve, or then cook it down and serve. If serving fresh and you want to add corn or beans or something, go for it after you remove it from the blender.
15 green habaneros, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp achiote powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup wheatgrass juice (for color and liquid)
1 cup distilled white vinegar
In a sauce pan over medium heat combine all ingredients sans vinegar and cook down until a medium-thick consistency. Let cool and transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the vinegar as the processor is running. Serve or safely can.
Where the heck did you get THAT recipe? Which one is it supposed to be a clone for? The XXX or the green?
I didn't get it I constructed it. The wheatgrass juice is a natural solution to the green dye and water. The spices I had to gauge myself, the achiote being Yucatecan and also a bright yellow that will help with the neon green of the original. So don't go poo pooing it it may work. I want to see it if he tries it.
