How to Make Atomic Hot Sauce
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Roast 10-12 habanero peppers, 5-7 jalapeño peppers, 1 large bell pepper (any color), and 1 head of garlic on the grill, turning occasionally, until the peppers are charred and slightly softened (about 20-25 minutes). This method minimizes fumes inside your home.
- Carefully peel the roasted peppers (especially important for the habaneros) outdoors to avoid intense heat and fumes. This is time-consuming, but worth it!
- Remove stems and seeds from peppers. Combine the roasted peppers, garlic cloves (remove from their skins), and 1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
- Sterilize jars and lids. Carefully ladle the hot sauce into the sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch of headspace.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure safe preservation.
- Remove jars and allow to cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal. Invert jars to check seal before storing.
