How to Make Pepper Joe's Hot Sauce
- Blanch 1 pound of chili peppers in boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- In a medium saucepan, boil 1 medium onion, 4 cloves garlic, and 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and chopped) until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Add the boiled onion, garlic, and sweet potato to a food processor or blender along with the blanched chili peppers, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste).
- Pulse to roughly chop the ingredients, then puree until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a touch of sugar if desired.
- Pour the hot sauce into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal tightly with lids and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
- Enjoy the fiery deliciousness on everything!
