Instructions:
-
Combine peppers, garlic, and water: In a pot, combine the spicy peppers, garlic cloves, and water. 🌶️
-
-
Simmer: Cover the pot and simmer the mixture until the peppers are very tender. This step allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Puree: Once the peppers are tender, transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. This creates the base of your hot pepper sauce.
-
Combine remaining ingredients: Return the pureed pepper mixture to the pot and add in the remaining ingredients: sugar, salt, horseradish, and white vinegar. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
Simmer again: Place the pot back on the stove and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This step intensifies the flavors and ensures a rich, flavorful sauce.
-
Prepare jars: While the sauce is simmering, prepare your half pint jars by cleaning and sterilizing them. Keep them hot until ready to use.
-
Fill jars: Once the sauce has thickened, carefully pour it into the hot half pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. This space allows for expansion during processing.
-
Seal jars: Seal the jars tightly with lids and bands to ensure they are airtight and properly preserved.
-
Process in a boiling water bath: To preserve your hot pepper sauce, process the sealed jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This step helps to create a vacuum seal, ensuring the sauce stays fresh for longer.
-
Enjoy: Once processed, allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place. Your homemade hot pepper sauce is now ready to enjoy! Serve it with your favorite dishes for an extra burst of flavor and heat. Enjoy the spicy goodness! 🌶️🔥
