So I decided today to try making my second hot sauce and used Carribean Red Habaneros that I grew this past year. I attempted to make a hot sauce with homegrown Fatali Peppers two weekends ago but I failed in making it overly watery. Today I was determined to make a sauce that was thicker and more like the hot sauce you get in the stores.
2 cloves garlic
1/4 onion
1/2 tomato
9 Habanero Peppers
1/2 cup White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Sea Salt
So I finely chopped the onions and garlic and sauteed them till they browned up a bit. I tossed them in the blender along with chopping up the half tomato and ran the blender as liquify. After this I added the 9 Habs in succession after having cut the stems off the peppers. From there I added 1/2 cup White Vinegar and 1 Tablespoon of Sea Salt. I ran the blender on liquify a few minutes. I transferred the mix to a sauce pan and boiled for 10 minutes. Let the sauce cool and poured into a mason jar. I am very pleased with how this sauce turned out. I think the use of a blender was good and adding in the vinegar helped keep the sauce much thicker. I am very pleased with how this sauce turned out!! this is exactly the consistency I was looking to make. The sauce has some kick. I plan to follow this recipe and just use different peppers that I have grown to make other sauces. Here is a pic of the finished sauce below. Enjoy!
