About This Recipe:

Sometimes, all you need is a little dash of hot sauce, and suddenly your food is on another level. It's one of the most popular condiments in the world, and there are people who put it on absolutely everything at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If this sounds like you, then making your own might be a pretty valuable skill. This recipe uses a classic blend of fresh vegetables, plus a little tang of vinegar characteristic of a Louisiana style sauce, so it's both delicious and super easy to make. The simple ingredients make this a really versatile sauce, so you can add it to anything you think might need an extra kick. If you want to get creative, use it as a marinade or to flavor your homemade chili.

Cooking Method:

Prepare Peppers

Remove the stems and seeds from your chilies and baby peppers, then wash your hands.

You can use your favorite kind of pepper to modify the spice level of your sauce, but we recommend using jalapeños. They're high enough on the Scoville scale to give your sauce the kick you're looking for, but not so high that you'll be crying in the corner when you taste it.

Slice Onion

Cut your onion into wedges.

Brown onions tend to be the go-to variety when cooking. They're one of the stronger onions, but when they're cooked, they add a little bit of sweetness.
