Super Hot Hot Sauce Recipe
Super Hot Hot Sauce
Credit - Mike Hultquist from Chill Pepper Maddness
Makes 1- 3 5oz bottles depending on size of peppers
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Lively Root Trinidad Scorpion Chili Peppers
- 4 cloves garlic
- 12 large basil leaves
- 1 cup vinegar + more as needed
- 1 teaspoon salt
Steps
*Reminder: Always wear gloves while handling hot peppers! 🌶️
- Wash and de-stem all peppers
-
Heat an oven to 400 degrees. Place the chili peppers and garlic on a baking sheet and bake them 15-20 minutes, or until the skins slightly char. Keep an eye on these to make sure they don't burn and be cautious of fumes. Alternatively, do this on your grill outside.
-
Squeeze garlic out of their skins and into the food processor along with the peppers.
-
Add basil leaves and process.
-
While processing, add in vinegar until it is nicely pureed. Again, watch out for the fumes!
-
Add salt and stir. Push the sauce through a strainer or use a food mill to really strain it, if desired. Adjust with more vinegar or water to your desired consistency.
-
Pour into bottles and enjoy.
Note: We recommend wearing a respirator mask and lab goggles while making super spicy hot sauce. Cooking peppers releases capsaicin into the air and it doesn’t feel good! Open windows to get some ventilation.
