Well I went and did it. I made my first batch of my own hot sauce. It was a huge mistake. I should never ever have done it, not because it was bad. Oh no because it was good. Too good. I am totally addicted to it. I knew i had a problem when the thought passed my mind about putting it on my cereal. I wasn’t upset about the waffle idea, that actually sounds interesting, but cereal showed that I have a serious problem. Just to be clear I didn’t actually put it on my cereal, I dismissed that thought as being too much but I did think about it, if only for a moment. However I do have to admit that I totally poured some on chicken soup. It was wonderful.
So what did I put in this amazing hot sauce. Serrano peppers, vinegar, chili powder, garlic, crushed red peppers, ( I thought that I didn’t have enough Serrano peppers I cleaned Walmart’s meager stock out) salt, kiwis, mango, and lime juice.
It really is stupid simple to make. If you can boil water, use a blender, pour stuff, and stir you can make hot sauce. Of course picking the right ingredients might require an imagination of sorts.
I already have my next batch lined up. It’s only waiting on the mango and peppers to ripen enough. This time I’m going for heat. I’ve got Habanero peppers this time. The Serrano peppers gave it a little heat in fact it’s quite pleasant the heat comes after the flavor and lingers for a few minutes. I think the second batch is going to hurt.
