Ingredients

  • 3.5 ounces datil peppers chopped (98 g) (About 40 datil peppers, depending on the size)
  • 3 ounces tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt to taste
  • ¼ cup water or more to thin the sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the ingredients accept for the water to a pot and bring to a quick boil. If you need a bit more moisture, add a couple tablespoons of water.
  2. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the peppers soften up nicely.
  3. Cool it slightly, then process it in a food process or blender until very smooth.
  4. Add in water a bit at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.

Notes

  • Makes about 1 cup of unstrained hot sauce. It’s a pretty thick sauce overall, so thin as desired. You can also use more vinegar to thin it if you prefer.
  • Heat Factor: Hot. Not as hot as a ghost pepper hot sauce, but you'll definitely get some good heat from the datil peppers.
