Homemade Hot Sauce image

This homemade hot sauce makes good use of the bountiful tomatoes, onions and peppers in your garden or farmers' market. Adjust the heat to your preference: in our tests, two habaneros yielded a pleasantly spicy sauce without excessive heat-take it up a notch for spicy-food fans by adding extra hot peppers. ---from eatingwell.com

Time 30m

Yield 2 2/3 cups hot sauce, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 chili peppers, diced
2 -4 habanero peppers or 2 -4 other small hot chili peppers, stemmed, halved and seeded
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb tomatoes, diced (about 3 cups)
1 cup distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 -3 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, chile peppers, habaneros to taste and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes, vinegar, salt and sugar to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the tomato mixture to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot ingredients.) Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; pour the pureed mixture through the sieve, pushing on the solids with a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. (Discard solids.) Let the sauce cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
