I started up this little hot sauce biz about a year ago. Time to get started again. With this one, had a nice little crop of Carolina Reapers. It’s not too crazy hot...if you’re a pepper head like me.

Ingredients

  1. 1 large Carolina Reaper pepper (or 2 if you think you can take it)
  2. 1 med-large Jalapeño pepper
  3. 1 can diced tomatoes (such as Ro-Tel)
  4. 1/4 cup Cider Vinegar
  5. 6 oz Chopped Red Onion
  6. 3 cloves Chopped Garlic (or minced)
  7. Garlic Salt (to taste)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Roughly chop the peppers, onion, and garlic and place in processor or blender and blend until finely diced

  2. 2

    Add remaining ingredients and liquefy.

  3. 3

    Place in sauce pan and bring to a light boil. Reduce to a low simmer for 20-25 mins covered

  4. 4

    Return to blender and liquify further until there are no chunks or seeds visible

  5. 5

    Pour through a fine strainer into a jar or measuring cup so just the liquid remains. (I would not use cheesecloth because you will get a very watery liquid instead of a sauce.)

  6. 6

    Distribute into hot sauce bottles or mason jars as you prefer. For best results, let refrigerate for at least 2-3 days before use.

  7. 7

    You can use the remaining pulp/paste as well in other dishes. For instance, I make my own dill pickles and I use some to make a spicier version.

I am about to open up my e-commerce site. I’ll be happy to let you know. Right now I just do local Farmer’s Markets.

I LOVE to cook and create. I tend to be heavy on spice and the savory dishes and I love making hot sauces and salsas which are now part of our new quick-service Mexican kitchen and taco truck business. Marinading and smoking meats is also one of my favorite hobbies as well.
