Growing up, we always had a bottle of some kind of hot pepper sauce on the
table. My dad made his own with tobasco peppers and vinegar. He used it on
everything-eggs, potatoes, greens-just about anything. I love it on pinto beans,
greens and cornbread.

Hot Pepper Vinegar Sauce
​​​
Ingredients
​
​
• Tobasco peppers-green, yellow and red if you have them
​
Chile or jalapeno peppers will work too.
​
• 1 cup vinegar (I like apple cider)
​
• 1 Tbsp sugar
​
• 1 tsp sea salt
​
​
​
​
You will need bottles, preferable with drippers and caps, but used, clean recycled
bottles with a secure caps are a great option. I've used Worchestershire, soy
sauce and olive oil bottles.
​
​
​
​
Instructions
​
​
​
1. Wash the peppers and cut the stems to ¼-inch; let dry on paper
towels.
​
​
2. Pack peppers into the bottles, with stems facing up.
​
​
3. In a microwave safe bowl, heat vinegar, sugar and salt until
​
​
completely dissolved; fill bottles with the mixture until the
peppers are covered. Pop in the drippers and cap; store in a
dark cabinet for a few weeks.
