Red Hot Pepper Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the peppers, garlic, onions, salt and oil in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft and almost all of the liquid has evaporated. (Note: this should be done in a very well-ventilated area!) Remove from the heat and allow to steep until mixture comes to room temperature. In a food processor, puree the mixture for 15 seconds, or until smooth. With the food processor running, add the vinegar through the feed tube in a steady stream.
• Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. (This will depend on the heat level of the peppers you use as well as the brand of vinegar used.) Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then transfer to a sterilized pint jar or bottle and secure with an airtight lid. Refrigerate. Let age at least 2 weeks before using. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Combine peppers, onion, garlic, vinegar, honey, mustard, chipotle and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend until emulsified. Strain sauce into a bowl.
• Cook's Note: This classic sauce is great on grilled veggies, chicken, fish and steak.

Steps:

• Wearing rubber or latex gloves, roughly chop the chilies. Combine all ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat. Once mixture is simmering, reduce heat to low, cover and continue to simmer until peppers are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Do not inhale vapors; they will sting.
• Transfer mixture to a blender and purée. Pour into a medium jar and allow to cool uncovered. Cover tightly and refrigerate for three days. Keep stored in refrigerator; sauce will last for several weeks or months.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 45 mins until the skins are blackened. Remove from the oven and put into a plastic bag - this makes them sweat and the skins slip off more easily. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins with your fingers. Slice the peppers open, pick out and discard all the seeds and membrane, then roughly chop the red flesh.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. When hot, fry the garlic and shallot for a few mins. Add the chopped peppers and continue to fry for a few mins, stirring to combine everything. Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil, then allow it to reduce a little.
• Pour the contents of the pan into a blender and whizz until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Depending on the ripeness of the peppers, you shouldn't need any sugar - but if they retain a slightly bitter flavour, return the sauce to the pan, add sugar to taste and let it dissolve over the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine hot peppers, onions and garlic in the bowl of a food processor or blender and puree.
• Add dry mustard, salt, cloves and vinegar and combine.
• Transfer to a small nonaluminum saucepan and simmer over medium low heat 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour into warm sterilized jars and seal.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Toss the peppers and onions with the garlic and olive oil, and spread out in a roasting tin. Roast for 40 mins, then add the tomatoes, red wine vinegar and sugar, and roast for another 20 mins. Tip into a food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste.

Steps:

• Wash and drain the vegetables.
• Seed and chop the peppers; core and chop the tomatoes.
• Put the vegetables in a kettle with 2 cups vinegar, bring to a boil, and boil until vegetables are soft.
• Press the mixture through a fine sieve.
• Add the sugar and salt and the spices, tied in a bag, and boil until the sauce is thick.
• Add the remaining vinegar continue to boil for about 15 minutes or until the sauce is the desired consistency.
• Discard the spice bag and seal, boiling-hot into hot jars.

Steps:

• USING FRESH CAYENNE PEPPERS.
• There are two different ways to prepare this sauce. You can use fresh cayenne peppers, or you can use cayenne peppers from your garden that you have canned.
• If you're using fresh cayenne peppers, simply remove the ends and measure all of the ingredients into a small saucepan.
• Heat over medium heat until boiling.
• Reduce the heat slightly, but so the mixture continues to boil.
• Simmer about 20-25 minutes.
• Remove the mixture from heat, carefully pour it into a blender & puree until thick and smooth.
• Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and simmer another 15 minutes.
• USING CANNED CAYENNE PEPPERS.
• If you're using canned cayenne peppers, which is what we used in this particular recipe --.
• In a blender add 18 peppers, 1 cup of vinegar (we used the juice from our home-canned peppers), garlic, salt, and garlic powder.
• Cover and puree until smooth.
• Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• The sauce is much better if you allow the flavors to marry overnight in the fridge, but if you don't have enough time to let it marinate overnight it will still turn out great wings!
