BEST HOMEMADE COCKTAIL SAUCE (SEAFOOD SAUCE)

Steps:

• Mix the catsup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon of horseradish. Taste and add more if desired. Then stir in a few dashes of hot sauce if you like your cocktail sauce with extra kick.

HOMEMADE RED HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the arbol peppers, guajillo peppers, and garlic in a saucepan with the water. Turn the heat to high, and once the water starts boiling, turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft. Due to the fumes, the peppers will give off, make sure your windows are open or turn on the exhaust fan.
• Remove saucepan from heat and allow to drop to room temperature. Once it has cooled, place the peppers, garlic, spices, dried herbs, vinegar, and one cup of the cooking water into a blender. Puree until you have a very fine texture.
• Pour this mixture into a glass container using a strainer, to remove any pieces of pepper skins left.
• Pour the mixture into the saucepan again, turn to medium-high heat, and gently simmer for about 5 minutes. This is just enough time to reduce the salsa to the desired consistency and allow the spices' flavors to blend. Again, don't forget to have the windows open and/or the kitchen exhaust fan on.
• Allow cooling. Pour the sauce into a sterilized bottle and secure with an airtight cap or lid.
• You can use this sauce immediately, although the flavors will be better about two weeks later. This sauce can last stored in your refrigerator for about 6 months. Enjoy!

COPYCAT FRANKS RED HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• USING FRESH CAYENNE PEPPERS.
• There are two different ways to prepare this sauce. You can use fresh cayenne peppers, or you can use cayenne peppers from your garden that you have canned.
• If you're using fresh cayenne peppers, simply remove the ends and measure all of the ingredients into a small saucepan.
• Heat over medium heat until boiling.
• Reduce the heat slightly, but so the mixture continues to boil.
• Simmer about 20-25 minutes.
• Remove the mixture from heat, carefully pour it into a blender & puree until thick and smooth.
• Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and simmer another 15 minutes.
• USING CANNED CAYENNE PEPPERS.
• If you're using canned cayenne peppers, which is what we used in this particular recipe --.
• In a blender add 18 peppers, 1 cup of vinegar (we used the juice from our home-canned peppers), garlic, salt, and garlic powder.
• Cover and puree until smooth.
• Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• The sauce is much better if you allow the flavors to marry overnight in the fridge, but if you don't have enough time to let it marinate overnight it will still turn out great wings!
