Any one who knows us, knows that we LOVE spicy food. But, we've found that finding truly hot hot sauces is quite difficult. Naturally, we decided that since we couldn't find anything fantastic in the grocery stores, we would just make our own. It turns out that making your own is actually cheaper than buying hot sauces in the store. This first attempt will definitely not be our last. It's really easy and really hot. The faint of heart (or tongue), be wary of this one!
Volcanic Hot Sauce (www.sweatnspice.com)
We ended up adding an extra tsp. of molasses to really make that flavor stand out. It has a unique mustard flavor that goes really well by itself on tortilla chips.
10-12 habaneros, jalapenos, scotch bonnet, or serrano peppers (we had a mixture of habaneros and jalapenos)
6 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup white vinegar
2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. molasses
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1 Tbs. salt
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add more salt and molasses to taste, if needed. Pour into a clean bottle.
