Comments on homemade hot sauces: We make hot sauces (Tobasco types) by blending 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 hot peppers. Pour the pureed pepper/vinegar mix into a saucepan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Blend again and pour into hot sterilized jars. Process in a pressure canner for the recommended time in your canner book. Let stand for 2 weeks. This can be transfered to bottles after opening and kept in the refrigerator. We make about 3 quarts of this sauce. Some from cayenne, green jalapeno and even a batch of straight habanero! We have even made it using peppers we frozen in the deep freeze. Great stuff!
