Jump Up and Smack your Mom Hot Sauce

From Lee Custer

This is not a sauce you baste, mop with or otherwise use straight, but is more an ingredient for those things when hot sauce is called for in a recipe.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 pound fresh chili peppers , chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 large habañero pepper
  • 1 large red jalapeño pepper
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • pinch onion powder
  • pinch black pepper, ground fresh

Preparation:

Combine the super chilies, black pepper, liquid smoke, and the other 2 types of peppers, and the vinegar in a saucepan and heat. Stir in the salt and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool, and place in a blender. Puree until smooth and place in a glass jar. Allow to steep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Remove, strain the sauce, and adjust the consistency by adding more vinegar if necessary.
