Title: Yaaaaahhhh Hooooooo Aaaaahhhh Hot Sauce
Categories: Five, Sauces, Chilies, Garlic
Yield: 1 Quart
1 qt Mason jar
1 tb Salt; plain, non-iodized
1 pt Chilies; dried Serrano,
- Cayenne, Tabasco, etc.
1 pt Garlic cloves; peeled
Distilled white vinegar
Fill the Mason jar with the dried chilies and peeled
garlic. Dissolve the tablespoon of salt in a cup of
white vinegar and pour over the chilies and garlic.
Top up the jar with more vinegar and put the jar in
a low traffic area to let the chilies rehydrate for
a day or a few weeks. Add vinegar as needed to keep
the jar full.
When the chilies are rehydrated empty the contents of
the jar into a blender or food processor and puree.
Add vinegar (or water) to get to your desired
thickness. I like mine to be fairly thick (like catsup
with an attitude) instead of runny like Tabasco. As
there is plenty of vegetable pulp in this mix, thick
is easy.
You can decant into smaller bottles or keep in the
quart jug.
I have kept some in the ice box for as long as five
weeks with no ill effects. I can't seem to get it to
last any longer than that. Apparently the longer it
sits in the ice box the more of it disappears.
This is a moderately successful attempt to make my own
"Huy Fong Sriracha Sauce". It's more garlicky than Huy
Fong and moderately spicy and goes well on almost
anything. Which, I suspect is why I have never had a
batch last more than five weeks.
Devised, made. tested, named and approved in Uncle
Dirty Dave's Kitchen. In the heart of the Great
American Outback.

... A plan so cunning that if it had a tail it would be a weasel.
