I'm thinking about making some simple pepper sauce with tobasco peppers. Anybody have experience or preferred peppers or recipes?
 
Tabasco peppers in vinegar.....done...
 
I've made my own Cayanne pepper sauce. Fresh peppers simmered in vinegar, salt, garlic powder and a splash of Worchester. Let cool and put in a blender. I put dat stuff on everything! Make friends happy too....Before harvest season, I buy the small bottles of Tonic...good 5 oz bottle for sauce...go thru a lot of Gin also...

yep. Heat your vinegar and it will concentrate in the peppers faster. I am not a sugar person but some people add a touch. Peas, Cabbage pretty much good on any garden veggies. I you can reuse the peppers at least once with just more vinegar.
 
I'm definitely trying Melman's recipe. I've been finding some good info online for a basic pepper sauce also. I put pepper sauce on almost everything I eat, so making a tasty one myself has multiple benefits.

yea his sounds like a good one. I can never have to much variety. I may even make some with some birds eye chilis.

Forgot...I cut the straight vinegar taste with water 1:4 ratio...1 water-4 vinegar
Remember it's salt heavy & a good pinch of course gr blk pepper to cook also...
 
If you really want to take it up a few levels, you can buy small (2 liter) oak barrels to age you hot sauce in for a couple of years. It's a long wait, but its definitely worth it.

You forgot sugar, water, onions and black peppercorns.


I use whatever vinegars we have laying around to make room in the pantry.
 
I made some with my pepper crop a few years ago. Cooked the peppers down with onions garlic and then blended everything and mixed with vinegar and a little water.

Taste was flat out awesome, one of the best hot sauces I've ever tasted. Friends said the same thing and wanted more but Unfortunately, i ran out and have not been able to repeat it.
 
I had tabasco and cayenne plants that went crazy a few years ago, but I never got around to making hot sauce. I might try that this year.

All I have is a monster Jalapeno plant that yields like crazy. I will definately be adding some Tobascos this year. I tried them once before with little success. Tons of light in that area you have them in? That Jalapeno only needs 4 or 5 hours direct light per day and you can have nachos for years.
