Homemade Hot Sauce Recipe
Recipe Description:
If you love hot sauce, you will love this recipe, which can be adjusted to suit your taste for heat. When you select your tomatoes, use the dark red heirlooms that have few seeds and solid meat. If you cannot find them, strain off as many of the seeds as you can after you have chopped the tomatoes. Seeds are bitter in salsa.
Recipe
Instructions:
Place the tomatoes, garlic, onion, and salt in a heavy saucepan.
Bring to a simmer and cook until all the vegetables are very soft and half of the tomato juice has cooked away.
While the tomato mixture is cooking, roast the peppers. This can be done in a skillet, under the broiler, or in a very hot oven, about 475 degrees. The skins will blister and burn a bit as they roast.
Be mindful of the fumes — even the fumes coming from these peppers can make your eyes water. Do not handle them with your bare hands.
After the peppers are roasted, cut off the stems and toss the topless peppers into your blender. Add enough of the cooked tomato mixture to whirl the peppers into a paste.
Thoroughly stir this paste into the tomato mixture.
Salt to taste and thin with water if necessary.
