Provided by Mike Hultquist

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound red chili peppers (chopped (use cayenne, tabasco, red jalapeno or others))
1 quart unchlorinated water ((for fermented version only))
3 tablespoons salt ((for the non-fermented version, use only 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, to your preference))
½-1 cup white wine vinegar (to your preference)

Steps:

  • FOR THE FERMENTED VERSION
  • First, ferment the chili peppers. Chop the peppers then pack them into a jar, leaving at least 1 inch of head space. The peppers may rise a bit when fermenting.
  • Next, mix 1 quart unchlorinated water with 3 tablespoons sea salt. Pour just enough brine over the peppers to cover them, pressing them down a bit as you go. It is important to keep the peppers covered with brine to avoid spoilage. Check this daily.
  • Screw on the lid and set the jar away from direct sunlight to ferment for at least 1 week. Ideal temperatures are between 55-75 degrees F. The most active fermentation period is between 1-2 weeks, so be sure to monitor it during this time. "Burp" the jars often by unscrewing the lid a bit to let out some of the accumulating gases. Or, use an airlock or membrane for easier fermenting. See our page, "How to Make Fermented Pepper Mash", for further instruction.
  • After 1-2 weeks, the fermenting activity will diminish and the brine will turn cloudy and taste acidic.
  • Pour the fermented peppers, including brine, into a pot along with the vinegar. Bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can strain out the fermented peppers and discard the brine, then boil the peppers with 1 cup vinegar and 1/2-1 teaspoon salt. Some people prefer to use the brine.
  • Cool slightly then add to a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Strain the mixture to remove the solids. Pour into hot sauce bottles and enjoy.
  • FOR THE NON-FERMENTED VERSION
  • Add only the chili peppers, 1 cup vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt to a pot and bring to a quick boil. Be sure you are only using 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to soften everything up.
  • Cool slightly then add to a food processor and process until smooth. If it is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time and process until smooth.
  • Strain the mixture to remove the solids. Pour into hot sauce bottles and enjoy.

Some Like It Hot Essentials: Louisiana Hot Sauce image

I love different hot sauces, and I love making my own. This version is as close as I can get to a good Southern hot sauce. It is tangy with heat, and a vinegar hit that is common in this type of sauce. It takes about two weeks to properly ferment, but oh so worth it. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

PLAN/PURCHASE
12 oz peppers, more on this later
1/2 c rice vinegar, non-flavored, or distilled white vinegar
1/2 c filtered water, more on this later
1 tsp salt, more on this later
OPTIONAL ITEMS
1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. You will need a food processor or blender, a glass jar (like a mason jar), and some cheesecloth.
  • 3. Pepper Types The type of peppers you use will determine the heat and the color of the hot sauce. To that end, any type of chili peppers can be used. Traditional peppers include cayenne, tabasco, and red jalapeno peppers. For this batch of hot sauce, I am using red cayenne peppers. Hot stuff.
  • 4. What about the Seeds? First, we need to clear up a misconception. The heat of a pepper is not in the seeds, because they do not contain capsaicin, the chemical that makes peppers hot. Capsaicin is actually contained in the whitish pithy pepper innards (called the placenta), and if you like you can remove it to make the pepper milder. When we prep the peppers, we will start by cutting off the stems. As to the seeds, understand, not only are they not spicy; they are non-toxic. You could eat them all day and they will just pass through your body. I remove the seeds when I am doing soups, stews, or chilis, because I do not want my guests seeing them floating about in their bowls... we eat first with our eyes. Since we are going to strain this sauce, I see no need to remove them. It is just busy work. But that is up to you. FYI: And do not forget that whenever you work with peppers, you should wear gloves.
  • 5. Besides the peppers, there are two other things that can sink the fermentation process: salt and water. Read this section carefully. Salt Store-bought salt contains all kinds of things that are not actually salt. For example, iodine. Depending on the brand, and the amount of iodine, it can completely kill the fermenting process. I use sea salt for two reasons: 1. It is iodine free. 2. It contains trace minerals (from the sea water) that enhance the flavor of what you are fermenting. Choose what you will, but no iodine. Water Citified water can contains all kinds of things; two of them being chlorine and/or chloramine. Either of these chemicals will stop the fermentation process in its tracks. So, what do you do? Well, depending on which of the chemicals you are dealing with, you have several choices: Off-Gassing If your water contains only chlorine and not chloramine, you can let it sit for 24 hours and the chlorine will dissipate into the environment. Boiling If your water contains only chlorine and not chloramine, you can drive the chlorine off by boiling the water for about 15 minutes. Filtration A charcoal filter is designed to strip your tap water of chlorine and chloramine; carbon filters are necessary for effective removal. Most, if not all, reverse osmosis water systems have a charcoal filter. Chemicals There are chemical methods for removing chloramine, but I am not, and never will go in that direction... That is using one dicey chemical to remove another dicey chemical. Alternate Water Sources I will give you two: one costs; the other is free. 1. Costs... Bottled spring water. 2. Free... Rainwater. When I had my second pergola built, I topped it with a steel roof. When the rains come, the water is directed through a drainage spout into a 20-gallon storage tank. A good rain will fill it in no time. Then, I boil it, run it through a strainer with cheesecloth, and save it in 5-gallon containers.
  • 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 7. Wash the peppers by cutting off the stems, and rough chop (refer to above notes on peppers and seeds).
  • 8. Add the peppers, vinegar, water, and salt to a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Pulse until it makes a pulpy mass.
  • 9. Place into a sterilized jar (like a mason jar), cover with cheesecloth, and secure with a rubber band.
  • 10. Store in a room temperature place, out of direct sunlight.
  • 11. The ideal temperature for fermentation to occur is between 60f - 75f (16c - 24c).
  • 12. Every other day remove the cheesecloth and give it a stir.
  • 13. After the first week, add an additional cup of vinegar and stir it up.
  • 14. After about 2 weeks, open up, place into a blender, and give it one or two 1-second blends.
  • 15. This will help release more liquid from the chilis.
  • 16. Place into a fine mesh strainer and allow to drain for about 15 minutes.
  • 17. Bottle and put into the fridge until needed.
  • 18. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 19. Use anywhere you need a good tasty hot sauce. Enjoy.
  • 20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
