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, preferably with drippers and caps, but used, clean,

 

recycled bottles with secure caps are a great option.  I've used

 

Worcestershire, 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.
