How to Make African Hot Sauce
- Wash and roughly chop all peppers and garlic.
- Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove seeds and skins (optional, for a smoother sauce).
- Transfer the sauce to a sterilized jar or container. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
- Enjoy your homemade African Hot Sauce! Use sparingly and taste as you go.
