HOT SAUCE HOME MADE

DAVE'S SAUCES
Internes has the Ultimate Insanity at no salt.  However, I thought that was the one I used at home.  The Insanity is at 2%


One ripe plum tomato
One half sweet red pepper
Two japapeno peppers
Benson's salt
black pepper
turmeric
corriander
two large scoops of chopped garlic from jar
***********************************************************
SECOND BATCH   9-12-2019


I could not get good jalapeno peppers, so I tried hot peppers called "frying peppers"  They did not seem as good for eating by hand, and so a portion of what I bought went by.  I tossed the bad parts and chopped up the rest.  They seem to have worked okay.

One ripe plum tomato

One half sweet red pepper

Two japapeno peppers

Benson's salt

black pepper

turmeric

corriander

two large scoops of chopped garlic from jar

Chop everything
Cover with a nice red wine vinegar
Blend in the bullet blender
This will make a mild hot sauce.

For hot hot sauce add in just a few drops of Dave's Ultimate Insanity.
Blend everything.

Tasted great and sure saves money.
Frank suggests I cook the sauce with some corn starch to reduce and thicken.  I'll try that next time.

SECOND BATCH   9-12-2019

I could not get good jalapeno peppers, so I tried hot peppers called "frying peppers"  They did not seem as good for eating by hand, and so a portion of what I bought went by.  I tossed the bad parts and chopped up the rest.  They seem to have worked okay.

One ripe plum tomato

One half sweet red pepper

Trader Joes mixed spices 

black pepper

turmeric

corriander

two large scoops of chopped garlic from jar

quarter teaspoon of Dave's Ultimate 

Apple Cider vinegar to cover.
Benson's salt substitute added later.  Just seems to need a saltier taste.

This batch was twice the size of the trial batch.  It would have been hotter than a mild sauce even without the Dave's.

I also cooked it with some corn starch, hoping to reduce liquid and thicken it (son Frank's suggestion)

That seems to have worked just fine.

Pretty cheap hot sauce, especially considering that some of these peppers would not have been much good in a day or two.  So, somehow I had to use them up.

November 2019

No sweet peppers here this time.  Did about four jalapeno from the freezer.  Added a small tomato.
turmeric
black pepper
corriander
tarragon
Benson's salt liberally

Thickened all with corn starch.   Used red wine vinegar with a bit of balsamic vinegar.

December 3, 2019
red wine vinegar
corriander
turmeric
garlic from jar
black pepper
benson's salt
homemade tomato sauce
rather large portion of Ultimate Dave's

Used about 8 jalapeno peppers

This turned out hotter than the others.  I think I'll like it.  I forgot about corn starch.

IN FLORIDA
January 24, 2020

Used good tasting jalapeno from the Inverness Farmer's Market and a junk tomato that was fine but just barely ripe.
Added a bit of chopped celery, Trader's Joe's Salute 21, Benson's salt, black pepper  No onion or garlic this batch.  I think I miss them a bit.
For liquid used balsamic vinegar and some left over non alcoholic wine.
Put in some drops of Dave's Insanity, which in spite of the research showing no salt had two percent salt.  I just can't seem to escape it in these high end sauces.
It added quite a kick.  I actually added the wine and more tomato after the first taste.
This bullet blender does not do the job of the one up home, but it came out ok.  Just a bit less fully blended.

AUGUST 24 2020 BURDEN LAKE

I used a bunch of jalapeno peppers as they were going to go bad before I got to them.  Peter and Casey gave me a bag of their peppers for everyday eating.

In the bullet blender I put the peppers

some red pepper

some turmeric

some ground black pepper

some jarred hot pepper

Vinegar, a mix of red, a bit of balsamic, and the rest apple cider

smoked paprika

no coriander this time

no onion

granulated garlic

I forgot corn starch or Benson's salt, but because I used to many peppers the sauce was plenty thick enough.

I put up two jars for the freezer and one for the refrigerator.

I did not think it needed any Dave's insanity, but if it seems less hot than I like, I may add a drop to the bottles

**************************************

white wine vinegar and apple cider vinegar

ten small red peppers Casey grew

four grape tomato

turmeric

black pepper

B's bravado 

21 salute trader joe's

minced onion

granulated garlic

small bit of red sweet peppper

Put it on blend and that worked to make it more creamy 

Decided against the corn starch as it does not look watery.  

Forgot corriander
