    Hot Sauce

    Where does hot sauce come from?

    Indigenous people of the Americas have been cultivating peppers for at least 7,000 years. There's archaeological evidence that the Aztecs may have been the first to make some form of hot sauce around 6,000 years ago.

    How do you make homemade hot sauce last?

    Whether conventional hot sauce or the fermented variety, hot sauce is a rather shelf-stable condiment due to its acidic nature. Most hot sauce will keep for a few months, if not a few years with cool, clean storage conditions.

    What supplies do you need to make hot sauce?

    Common hot sauce-making supplies include a blender or food processor, jars, a fine mesh strainer, chili peppers, spices, vinegar, lime juice, and a sauce pan.

    Chile Peppers

    Some common hot peppers for hot sauce making include cayenne peppers, Fresno peppers, jalapenos, ghost peppers, red bell peppers, serrano chiles, Thai chiles, Arbol chiles, habanero peppers, scotch bonnet peppers, poblano chiles, ancho chiles, peri-peris, and Aji chiles.
