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.

Tobasco peppers-You can use different levels of ripeness

 

 

   or all ripe peppers.  

 

 

  Always wear food safe gloves when handling peppers

 

 

   and NEVER touch your face or rub your eyes!!!

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.
