The process is easy enough to make the hot sauce. Roasting your peppers is a good way to coax out additional flavors for your resulting hot sauce. It’s a super simple sauce recipe with very few steps, though you’ll be crazy happy with the end flavors. I’m calling this a more generic “Hot Pepper Sauce” recipe as you can see because you can make this with any pepper of your choice, realistically. I grew so many peppers in our garden this year and this is me basically using some of them up. I was going for something VERY hot that I can spoon into chili, which I LOVE making this time of year, or for swirling into soups and stews to bring up the heat of the entire pot. She loves a good hot sauce, too, but isn’t a fan of the superhots. Too hot for her! I have some sweet peppers fermenting right now for her. Here is that Recipe - Sweet Pepper Chili Sauce.

Hot Chili Peppers. You can use any of your favorite hot peppers for this recipe. Use a mix to your own heat and flavor preferences. I love making this with superhots. Garlic. Basil. Brown Sugar. Honey. Apple Cider Vinegar. Dark Rum. If you’d like to omit this, use more apple cider vinegar or apple juice. Salt. Lime Juice.
Cool it all slightly then process it all up in a food processor with apple cider vinegar. You’ll definitely get your preferred heat along with a sweet finish from the honey and brown sugar, though it isn’t TOO sweet. You’ll also notice the pungency of the garlic, basil and dark rum for complexity. Give a try, my friends! Let me know it turns out for you. I hope you like it! If you’re concerned, add more vinegar to lower the ph. Sauces made with fermented chili peppers will last even longer.
