Cayenne Flavor Sauce
From rebelwoc 13 years agoIngredients
- 1/2 lb cayenne peppers shopping list
- 4-5 other peppers for spice and flavor – Yep each pepper supplies a nice flavor along shopping list
- with heat. I usually only add jalapenos if I want heat. Mostly I just use cayenne’s only trying to copy the taste of Crystal. Add more salt and lime to your own specs and to cut down the heat. shopping list
- Below is a list of peppers that you could use for flavor and/or heat: shopping list
- jalapenos - flavor with a good kick shopping list
- Serrano’s - heat and freshness shopping list
- Poblanos - earthy flavor with low heat shopping list
- habaneros - pure heat shopping list
- white vinegar 1-2 cups. I usually go 1 ½ cups per half pound. shopping list
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt shopping list
- I always add about 4 cloves of fresh Elephant garlic shopping list
- 2 Tbsp of lime juice shopping list
How to make it
- Wash and cut off the stems of peppers. Next add the peppers to the blender. Then add the salt and white vinegar. This amount varies so it isn’t an exact measurement.
- Blend for 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and bright red in color.
- It is a tad bit foamy, but it is bright red.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, (keep an eyeball on it because it will foam over) reduce and let simmer for 20 minutes, occasional stirring with a watchful eye.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for a couple of minutes. Then strain the sauce through a fine strainer into a measuring cup to get rid of the large particles. I use a wooden spoon and lightly rotate it in the strainer to extract the spicy red sauce and leave a glob of waste in the strainer.
- Then pour into your favorite glass container (old Crystal or Tabasco bottles) usually with a funnel that fits the neck after the restrictor is removed and you’re done.
- I have been adding extra salt and lime to try and reduce the heat for family members that are heat challenged. It’s a good recipe for those of us that grow our own peppers and don’t have the facilities to age for three years.
