Make Your Own Hot Pepper Sauces

Habanero Hot Sauce, Jalapeno Hot Sauce & Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce Recipes

Hot pepper sauces are ALL over the internet. And there are some really tasty and innovative sauces. But, Pepper Joe's favorites are his own home-made sauces. You can control the freshness of ingredients,the heat level, and make sure it's wholesome, organic and chemical and preservative free.

Listed are two easy-to-make recipes that I hope will become family favorites. Keep them refrigerated. They should last at least one year (although I'd bet they will go a lot quicker than that).

Bhut Jolokia Hot Sauce - Ghost Pepper Sauce

5 cloves of garlic

Whole onion

Salt

White pepper

4 carrots

Apple cider vinegar

In a food processor chop up the Ghost Peppers, onion, garlic and carrots. Add salt and white pepper to taste (a tsp. of turmeric if you'd like as an additional preservative).

Add in 1/3 water and 2/3 Apple cider vinegar...to your consistency liking. This makes a thicker Hot Sauce that you can 'spoon' out.

The carrots, garlic and onion take a LITTLE of the edge off of the Ghost Peppers.

But CAUTION....this is a VERY Hot Sauce.
