I am a relatively new Chili Head, and enjoy growing and cooking my own
peppers.  Even though I know this has probably been discussed many times, I
must ask your indulgence.

I am looking for a good recipe for a good old-fashioned hot sauce recipe
along the lines of Tabasco.  No fruity little gew-gaws, no tomatos, onions,
etc.

What I would like to acheive someday, is an approximation of an everyday
table sauce made in Jamaica by Grace Foods.  Nothing fancy, it is along the
same lines as Tabasco brand, but much hotter, a little thicker, and less
vinegary.  When I get the basics down, I will probably experiment with
various combinations of the different peppers I grow.  This year, I should
have about twenty or so varieties, including three that claim to be the
worlds hottest:  Naga Jolokia (Indian PC-1), Red Savina, and Tepin.  When I
finally decide which is hottest, I'll let you all know.

BTW:  My source for hot pepper seeds is Reimer Seeds www.reimerseeds.com
Over 400 varieties, and fast friendly service.

Warmest regards,
Ken
