Instructions
- Clean jar, lid, and band with hot water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Grab 7-8 hot peppers slice them up. Pick your favorite variety or use a mixture. You can also just slice them in half or slice the ends off.
- No need to seed the peppers or remove the membrane. They will add lots of heat and flavor if that is what you are looking for!.
- Heat your vinegar and sugar up until just starting to boil. Remove from heat.
- Toss hot peppers in salt until blended.
- Cram as many hot peppers as you can into your jar or bottle. If adding any additional flavor ingredients, add them now.
- Using a funnel if necessary, slowly and carefully pour your hot vinegar into your container until the peppers are covered.
- Cover with lid and let sit at least 24 hours before using.
Pureed Option
- Puree contents of jar if you prefer a blended hot sauce.
Notes
- 24-Hours: Allow your jar of hot pepper sauce to sit for at least 24 hours, if not longer, before using. The longer you allow it to sit, the more flavorful it will become.
- Handle with caution: Remember to wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly when handling these spicy chili peppers! The last thing on earth you want to do is touch your eye with unwashed hands!
- Cleanup: Be sure to clean the cutting board and knife really well after use to remove the spicy oils of the chilies.
- Space in the jar: Use a jar large enough that you can leave the top one-quarter of it empty.
- Add more vinegar: When your bottle of homemade pepper sauce is almost empty, just top it off with some more vinegar. No need to heat the vinegar.
- Spicy flavor: After sitting for a long period of time, the hot peppers will begin to lose some of their heat.
