I've been making my own sauces for the last 15 years or so. A few suggestions to readers; -sometimes I see people using xanthan gum or starch to thicken the sauce. No need for that, just use carrots to thicken the sauce. They also lower the heat a bit as they are sugary. -I never use any form of sugar except fresh fruits. If your sauce happens to be extremely hot, you can use 1-2 Table spoon of maple syrup too. -I don't prefer chunky parts in my sauces so I always strain the sauce with a sieve before bottling, which makes a creamy, silky, pure liquid, After straining I transfer it to the pan again and heat it a little bit, taste and add more salt if it needs. In this step you can dilute the sauce if needs to be. But rather than just adding vinegar you can also add boiled water to dilute overly thick sauces. Too much vinegar ruins the taste, so be careful. -Remember salt and garlic also acts as preservatives. So if you want your sauce to have a long shelf life, be generous with garlic and salt, unless you are making a fermented hot sauce of cause. As garlic prevents bacteria it will also prevent beneficial bacteria in the fermenting process. -For habaneros; I use white vinegar for a bright fresh habanero taste. But if I'm mixing peppers like red savinas, bhut jolokias, habs then I prefer apple vinegar for a rounder, sweeter taste. -For fresh tasting sauces I just use fruits like mango, nectar, pineapple, apples and carrot. For more complex sauces onions and garlic works wonders. Though you could add anything you want; tomatoes, ginger, celery etc. Also you can add freshly crushed black peppers too for a longer heat sensation. -The more types of peppers you add the more complex and layered the sauce becomes. So try to combine a few peppers rather than using only one type of pepper if you can. -Always use fresh and plum fruits and fresh vegetables rather than powders or dryed ones. Use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for example. -You can make hot sauce with dried peppers too but it would never be as good as the one made with fresh peppers.

[@Toniameadows]

How long does it last?

[@ozgundemirr]

@@Toniameadows about 1 to 3 years in refrigerator depending on the garlic, vinegar amount.

[@smdatri]

How much carrot would you use to replace the sugar in this recipe?

[@ozgundemirr]

@@smdatri Hello Sonya, carrot is mainly used for thickening the sauce, it is not sugary enough to sweeten a sauce by itself. I use one carrot per batch, by batch I mean 1-1,5 liters of final sauce. To sweeten the sauce, I recommend using ripe fruits like pineapples, pears, nectars, mangos, apricots, apples and so.

[@smdatri]

@@ozgundemirr Thank you so much!

Zucchini squash diced added to the pan after the peppers have been sweated makes it come out of the blender almost like avocado salsa. It’s the secret to how most taco shop creamy textured avo salsa is made in Southern California.

[@siggyincr7447]

I've been doing an uncooked version of this for years. Taste is good, though different than the cooked hot sauces. For the uncooked version I start with a canning jar half full with vinegar, add sugar, salt and any spices you like to taste. When you have ripe peppers, wash, remove the seeds (if you want it really hot keep the seeds) and throw them in the jar. Keep the jar in the fridge. Keep doing this till the jar is full. An advantage of this is that you can accumulate the peppers of an entire growing season adding them as they ripen. I only have one or two plants growing at a time so this can take me a few weeks to months to fill the jar with any peppers that I have left over. The vinegar will soften the peppers up after a few weeks. Throw the pickled peppers and some of the liquid in a blender and blend it down to a smooth paste, add the drained vinegar to thin it down to the consistency you like, done. The hot vinegar that remains can be used to add some heat to recipes that use vinegar.

[@wjr4700]

I imagine you get a great spectrum of flavours from collecting through the season as well as having different stages of fermentation all combined. Nice.

[@alwkw3783]

Thank you for the storage advice! I have one habanero plant with many beautiful peppers but they seem to only be ripening one at a time.

I just made this recipe - with only orange habaneros - but tweaked it slightly. I mixed 1/2 pound of chopped pineapple with course ground sugar in a bowl and baked at 425 for ten minutes and then flipped for another ten, and I added that in in place of the sugar and it came out incredible. That ended up making about 12 oz of sauce though, but man is it so good! Thanks for the recipe!

I happened to stumble across a video and started watching different ones. Very very interesting and good information. I don't grow sweet peppers any longer, I have switched to hot peppers having grown some in the past with the Bell peppers. I now grow in the garden and in pots on the deck. I started some Fatalii seeds in March 2020 and grew 2 plants in Folgers coffee cans, a 39 oz and 24 oz. Come fall I decided to over winter them, something I never did and it was a spectacular success! By mid November I started to pollenate the flowers with a paint brush, something I never did before, and to my surprise I had peppers all winter! I picked 101 peppers in 2020 and another 36 so far this year. The plants were severely root bound to say the least and lots of yellowing leaves so leaving them in pots again this year was not an option. Also the pods were very small just 1 to 1 1/2" vs 2 1/2 - 3" long when grown in the garden but they are hot. I fertilized with Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed emulsion every 7 days. Yesterday I cut open the plastic cans and put them into the garden. They grew a lot over the winter and I was barely able to fit them through the door when I started to put them out on warm days on the deck in April. I too live in Connecticut, I'm in Litchfield County. What part of CT are you in? I'm going to subscribe and follow your channel.

It should make enough to fill two smallish bottles and a small mayo jar.

By the way, you can also add a bit of chocolate or kiwi sauce - for taste, color, and fun 😋 As for storage: I keep it in a cool and relatively dark place. I keep it in the fridge only after opening the container. While the container is still untouched (after filling), I found that it basically lasts forever. Well, never tried forever (haha), but definitely for 3 years (forgot that I still had 2 jars left, never got to use them, thus being surprised to discover them and find that the sauce was still as good as new/fresh).

[@carterdyksen]

I grew habaneros for the first time in our garden this year (first year growing any hot peppers). We are in garden zone 5b. So, our season is starting to come to an end. Sadly, I believe I over watered our habaneros as they are a beautiful orange but sweet like a bell pepper. Have you had any luck with habaneros turning hot after they were sweet? Also, have you had any luck transplanting a mature habanero plant into a large planter pot . Idea being, transplant inside and let it finish off their/produce fruit that is hot.

[@PepperGeek]

We've had hot pepper varieties fail to produce hot peppers. Some varieties can apparently lose heat from overwatering, and I believe from reduced sunlight (peppers want 6+ hours per day of direct sunlight). We have yet to overwinter our pepper plants, but you can certainly bring them indoors if the temps go below 50F outside. The change in temp may lead to reduced/no fruiting, so try to keep them in the sun!

[@PepperGeek]

@@longislandsurfer This is why we can't bring our potted plants indoors. The eggs are laid in the soil and can be nearly impossible to get out. Some people say dunking the entire plant in soapy water for several minutes can drown them but it is tough with big plants. However, just today I cut down a big plant to be a bonsai plant and dunked it for 15 minutes in soapy water. So far, the aphids are nowhere to be found..we'll see!

Just made this recipe, but didn’t quite have enough habaneros in my garden, so I added a few jalapeños, and some onion to make up the weight. I also smoked the peppers and onion first. Turned out great for my first hot sauce.

I just tried this exact recipe and it blew my face off.

Habaneros are definitely hot peppers haha

[@sapago4166]

Lol. I was watching this and wondering why he was cooking it because you lose some of the heat that way.

[@anotherfoodvlogger2511]

I love habaneros they're just perfect not too spicy not too weak

[@PepperGeek]

Agreed! they're the perfect middle ground between not-too-hot and scary-hot

Very cool episode. Much appreciated. I'll have to try my hand at this next year by adding hot peppers to our garden.
