My Best Hot Sauce to Date

[beerbreath81]

Been experimenting with different techniques lately.  My Fresh Hot Sauce still needs some tweeking but for dried chilis this is the one for me
 
Ingrediants
3 C Water
2 C White Vinegar
1/2 Onion (rough chopped)
1.5 Tbls Salt
2 tsp Minced Garlic
1/8 C liquid Pectin
12 dried peppers (i used yellow bhuts I got from pepperlover)
Tumeric---1 tsp??

 
I used a camp stove for making but regular skillet i'm sure will be fine

 
Add water/vinegar to pan along with chilis, bring to boil then shut burner off and allow peppers to rehydrate for 20-30 minutes

 
Add Onion, Salt, Garlic and bring to boil. Cover with lid and Slow boil for 45-60 min

 
FirePower!!

 
Once boil is done add pectin

 
Put in blender for 5-7 min on high, add some tumeric for color, think i added about 1-1.5 tsp

 
back to skillet to reduce

 
once you can part the sauce its done

 
FINISH WITH A BUMP

Is the turmeric strictly for color?  Nice looking sauce so far.

 

[Halbrust]

The pectin is basically a thickener, yes?

(Optional)---Add to strainer or food mill to remove seeds/skins bottle and cool

 
couldnt wait to try with dinner

 
time will help if it lasts. Flavor is excellent, but im not very good at explaning maybe have to send some to a member on here who can give proper review. Any takers?
 
Heat is about a 6/10 i would say....maybe a five. Perfect for me
 
Will update next weekend, will try with some red bhuts, maybe add a few carrots and/or some red bells
 
Enjoy!

yes..but as a bonus some say its real good for you too.

yes, and technically i think it gave it a kinda glossy appearance too?...probably could use dried pectin but im not sure the conversion. Liquid was just what was available to me.

Sounds yummy - that Christopher Ranch garlic
Is packed in olive oil I believe - so technical speaking there's one more ingredient.

If people want to replicate but crush their own garlic I guess they'd add a drop or two?

Probably not important but I get all rain man with that kind of thing. lol

Thanks for the recipe!  I had some time today and an empty sauce jar or two, so I whipped some of this up.  The only changes that I made were to use fresh yellow bhuts (I had some on the counter that I was wondering what to do with) and I didn't add the turmeric (forgot until it was bottled) and added a tablespoon or so of sugar.  I tasted it and thought that for my tastes cutting the heat just a bit with some sweet would be good.  This is some very good sauce, and I will be using it liberally over the next few weeks, I am sure!  Thanks again.

Excellent,
Glad you liked it. Good thinking on the sugar, might have to try this myself, or just add a little honey to the one already made!!
