Easy Hot Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pour tomatoes and their juice into a blender.
• Place cilantro leaves on top of tomatoes.
• Depending on how hot you like your hot sauce, place 2-4 jalapenos in the blender on top of the cilantro.
• Place lime juice and garlic salt* in blender and puree the mixture until smooth.
• Serve with tortilla chips.
• * Note - You can adjust the amounts of garlic salt and lime juice to your own taste.

Steps:

• Combine the peppers, garlic, onions, salt and oil in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft and almost all of the liquid has evaporated. (Note: this should be done in a very well-ventilated area!) Remove from the heat and allow to steep until mixture comes to room temperature. In a food processor, puree the mixture for 15 seconds, or until smooth. With the food processor running, add the vinegar through the feed tube in a steady stream.
• Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. (This will depend on the heat level of the peppers you use as well as the brand of vinegar used.) Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then transfer to a sterilized pint jar or bottle and secure with an airtight lid. Refrigerate. Let age at least 2 weeks before using. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Using a blender or pestle and mortar, combine all of the ingredients and blend well. The mixture should become like a paste. Once it is well mixed, place in a container and serve whenever you feel like having something spicy.
• Serve with tortillas or marinate fish, meat, poultry, or any of your favorite foods.
