How to Make Copycat Franks Red Hot Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are very soft.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender).
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or skins (optional, but recommended for a smoother texture).
- Return the strained sauce to the saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Simmer for 5-10 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more vinegar for tang, sugar for sweetness, or cayenne for heat).
- Transfer the hot sauce to sterilized bottles or jars. Seal tightly and let cool completely.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
