Hot sauce from powders

[Jeffcontonio]

Has anyone made a successful sauce exclusively with dried and ground peppers? I'm trying to decide how I want to preserve my fresh peppers for later use.

Yes it can be done. Done a few times actually. It's just generally better from frozen/mash/ferment/fresh

I agree with the above but I don't tend to make sauce exclusively from powders.  They end up with a 'gritty' mouthfeel in my opinion.  I'll add certain powders (or dried chiles) to certain sauces, but most of my sauces are made using fresh peppers as the main ingredient.

You can help avoid the gritty issue by rehydrating then blending.

Think ill stick to freezing them then.
