- 18 red hot peppers Cayenne or Fresnos
- 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Prep Peppers - Clean peppers and slice off the stems. Remove the seeds to reduce heat (taste test peppers for heat level). Roughly chop peppers and add to a large saucepan.
Mix and Boil - Add all other ingredients to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Peppers should be soft and pliable.
Cool and Blend - Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Add to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Simmering vinegar and hot peppers will cause your kitchen to be a bit uncomfortable on the lungs. Open a window if possible!
- Be careful when cleaning the hot peppers of seeds. Because they are very hot, chili peppers can sting your neck and nose. Keep a window open. You can protect your hands by putting on gloves.
- Should yield around 1 1/2 cups of sauce, or 24 tbsp.
