Ingredients

  • 8 ounces devil’s tongue peppers see notes for alterative peppers
  • 4 ounces carrot peeled
  • 4 ounces white onion peeled
  • 2 ounces garlic or more as desired – I like a lot of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt I used smoked sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup water + more as desired

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Chop the peppers, carrot, onion and garlic. Add them to a pot with the remaining ingredients.
  2. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. You can simmer longer if you’d like to develop the flavors more.
  3. Cool slightly then pour the mixture into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
  4. Add a bit more water if you’d like to thin the sauce out a bit to your preference.
  5. You can serve it as is or strain it through a fine mesh sieve for a much smoother hot sauce.
  6. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Makes 1.5 cups strained when I added a touch more water. Heat Factor: HOT. Devil’s tongue peppers pack a nice punch of heat. If you can’t find devil’s tongue peppers, use habanero peppers or scotch bonnet peppers instead. Realistically, this hot sauce recipe will work with ANY type of pepper. pH: I measured this sauce at 4.1 pH. If you’d like to preserve the hot sauce in a water bath, I suggest adding more vinegar or a citrus, like lemon or lime juice, to achieve a pH of 3.5 or lower.
