Had a nice batch of peppers turning red in my garden so I decided to make some hot sauce. Hot sauce has been on my mind after I made that spicy Sriracha ketchup last week.
I have both hot Apaches and a milder Pompeii peppers growing in my herb garden. The Apaches are small peppers that are a little hotter than Cayenne (and are from the same family). The Pompeii peppers is a larger sweet pepper, but I have noticed that mine have some mild heat to them when they turn red.
Here are some pictures.
Hot Sauce was pretty hot and tasty, with a Sriracha flavor from the garlic and sugar I added.
There are more pictures and a recipe here. http://www.dfw.com/2013/07/12/809588/weekend-chef-homemade-hot-sauce.html
I am pretty happy with the results, I should have another batch of pepper here in a couple of weeks.
