Thank you for this video I tried my hand at making a sauce and heres the recipe I made off the top of my head using knowledge I learned in the past hour, I had gpt write it out all neat for me since I'm lazy: Ingredients: - 8 dried ghost peppers - 2 dried chipotle peppers - 4 cloves of garlic - 1/4 Vidalia onion - 3/4 cup (about 161ml) filtered water (from rehydrating peppers) - 3/4 cup (about 161ml) white vinegar - 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil - 2 teaspoons salt - 1/4 teaspoon MSG (NOT optional) 1. Rehydrate Peppers: - Place the dried ghost and chipotle peppers in a bowl and cover with boiling hot water. Let them soak for about 20-30 minutes until softened. Drain, reserving the pepper-infused water. 2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: - In a small saucepan, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add diced Vidalia onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until onions are translucent. Add the rehydrated peppers and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. 3. Prepare Liquid Mixture: - In a separate bowl, combine the reserved pepper water, white vinegar, salt, and MSG. Stir well to dissolve the salt and MSG. 4. Simmer: - Pour the liquid mixture into the saucepan with the sautéed ingredients. Stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer covered for about 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and peppers to soften further. 5. Blend: - Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend on low speed at first, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and uniform in texture. 6. Bottle: - Using a sanitized glass bottle or jar, carefully pour the blended hot sauce. Leave a little headspace at the top. This recipe should yield about 8 ounces of hot sauce, filling a 5-ounce bottle with a bit extra. 7. Storage: - Seal the bottle tightly and refrigerate immediately to preserve freshness. The flavors of the hot sauce will continue to develop over time. 8. Enjoy: - Use your homemade hot sauce on tacos, eggs, grilled meats, or any dish that needs a spicy kick. It should keep well in the refrigerator for several weeks to a few months. this tastes pretty good, it's got very nice intense heat and a lot of tangy fruitiness to it. I'll have to experiment with making more sauces this was extremely easy
Duuuude...I'm making this now and didn't realize how much of the heat from the peppers was going to rise into the air around! I was almost choking!😂 Please add a note to your video that we need well ventilated kitchens when making this!! Thanks for the recipe; we can't wait to taste it!
Thank you Logan for your recipe....and for writing ingredients below..that really helps.. I've watched a few videos but I like yours. As I too prefer to sieve the seeds out afterwards ..as you now have the flavor of the chilly. I'm definitely going to make your recipe 😅 I'm watching from Cape Town SA 😊
I hope you like it! It's one of my favorites as far as my non fermented sauces are concerned. You can remove the seeds too as they can be bitter. Try drying the pulp after you strain the sauce in a low temperature oven (the lowest it will go) for a few hours. Grind it up once dried and mix it with some salt for a tasty spicy seasoned salt! I have written recipes on my website too.
I just made this sauce. So far I think it turned out really good, and I will check again in a couple of days after the flavors have had a chance to meld in the bottle. Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you like it. I found the flavors getting even better over the next couple days from making it. I love this sauce and always have a bottle on hand.
Much appreciated and you're welcome! I have a few more non fermented hot sauce recipes coming as well as some others already on the channel. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy.
@@dannyharageonesjr.2024 Yes. You can dry it out in a low temperature oven and grind it up. Add some salt to it. I go 2 part salt to 1 part of the ground pepper remains. It's delicious. I did a video recently dedicated to showing how to do this using fresh ingredients.
I made this tonight with apple cider vinegar - sooo good! I used Apache peppers as I mentioned. Can you water-bath can this recipe as is? My pH level on this was close to 4 so should be fine. Let me know your thoughts please. Thanks!!
boy this looks amazing. Have you done any testing with Brown Sugar alternatives such as Swerve or Sukrin Gold? I don't like the extra carbs with my sauces so I'm thinking of doing this but trying a Sucralose or Allulose based sweetener. Thanks for sharing.
I do not know if I managed to do something incorrectly or what, but I followed this recipe exactly and it came out tasting actually like bile or vomit. Any tips from anyone? Why would this have happened?
I'm not sure what really happened. I suggest removing the seeds from the chilies as some people find them bitter. You can take out the oregano for the same reason. You can play around with the sugar/vinegar amounts too to get it to a taste that works for you. Hope that helps. I've made this sauce as is more than a few times with it tasting great.
It might be that red color from what I used to blend it. Other than that, the ingredients and cooking techniques I use to make the sauce are all how I show it in the video. Thank you for watching
I've been scouring Google for a "Fermented Taco Sauce" -- and coming up with nothing. I saw someone selling it out of a craft shop in Chicago, and I picked up a bottle. It was fantastic, which makes me even more curious why this isn't more of a "thing". So I check regular Taco Sauce recipes and I get my second surprise. Virtually none of them use peppers. Oh, maybe a pinch of chili powder, a tablespoon of flakes -- but nothing substantial. Now I land on this video and think I might wanna adapt the recipe (even though it is not fermented). I imagine a generic Taco Sauce goosed up with a chili mix of (say) 30% fresh Chiltepins and 70% dried Chile de Arbols would come close to what I imagine. Add Garlic and a hefty shot of Cumin maybe. So... QUESTION: Would you use dried chilies in a Ferment or save it for the Blend? Also, If I want a bit of a Tomato base, would you suggest fermenting tomatoes along with the rest, or maybe using the method you employ in your "Peach-Serrano BBQ Sauce" recipe (ie: using pre-fermented tomatoes at the Blend). Or would you skip fermentation altogether on something like this? Any advice?
This is a great question and gives me a reason to make a video on fermented taco sauce. Thank you for that idea. I really like this sauce as far as a good taco sauce. It reminds me of a homemade tapatio with better flavor and spice. I've never tried fermenting with dried peppers, something I want to experiment with now that you raised the question. As far as ratio fresh to dried pepper, that would be something to experiment with. 30% fresh to 70% dried will probably work great. So long as there's enough fresh ingredients to start the fermentation process. Adding fresh tomato is great too. I suggest to ferment everything together. Fermenting tomatoes, garlic, fresh and dried peppers with some cumin seeds would make a great sauce. If you have something to test the pH of the brine, that will tell you that fermentation is occurring, besides the obvious signs of fermentation. I prefer fermented hot sauce, however this sauce in the video is really good and is a good starting point if you want to add other things to it. I have made a spicy habanero ketchup with cherry tomatoes before that was delicious. Of course any pepper will do just fine. I hope that helps, let me know of you have any more questions or if I missed something you asked. Regards, Logan
@@LogansInnerChef Part of the problem is "nomenclature". Of the many hundred thousands of hot sauces out there, pretty much EVERY DAMN ONE tastes good on tacos. But that doesn't make it a "taco sauce" in the sense I'm using it. My definition is more restricted and traditional. It should have something of a tomato base, savory, garlic, onions, and a definite note of cumin. That's pretty much everything from Ortega to Taco Bell. Yet is still astounds me that none of the common ones exploit peppers to any significant degree. That is the gauntlet I want to pick up. Taco Sauce on steroids -- an added kick, without sacrificing the general taste profile too much. Something that -- if you saw it in a packet -- you'd say "This is taco sauce!".
@@RavinDave-theOriginal I can agree with that. I think if you keep the traditional ingredients that are in a taco sauce, but ferment them, you'll end up with a killer sauce that keeps the flavor profiles. Fermentation, as you know, really compliments the natural flavors of the ingredients with that nice flavor that you get from fermenting them. Sounds like a winner to me!
The written recipe is how I did it. I rewatched the raw footage and I definitely used 1 c. I accidentally said 1/2 c in the video. Thank you for pointing that out.
@@dominicdeluca6378 On average, 1 lime can yield up to 2 tbsp. Therefore, maximum juice can be 1/4 cish for 2 limes. I probably didn't get much out of them when I made the sauce for the video. More lime juice in this sauce will only work better in my opinion. But, you'd have to make it to find out on your own. Cheers.
I said accidentally to use 1/2 c vinegar in the video...go with the recipe as written. Taking the seeds out of the peppers will lessen any bitterness in the finished sauce.

Great idea using dried chili instead of fresh pods, sauce looks amazing as all your other dishes. Thanks for another tasty video. Have a great day.
Thank you very much. I really like how the sauce turned out, I'm quite addicted to it already. Enjoy your day as well.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll do that next time. Hope you enjoy it, this sauce is one of my favorites that isn't my fermented sauce
I can’t wait to try it. I’m a Cali native but living in Switzerland and I so miss the Mexican foods!
This is a great sauce that goes great with Mexican food! Hope you enjoy.
Ooooooo, this looks so incredible spicy and delicious! Always love the tips and tricks I can add to my everyday cooking. 💕🔥🌶️🔥💕

A tortilla press also works well to juice a lime.
Did you say to dry the filtered remains and add salt and make seasoned salt with it I didn't quite understand that
@@dannyharageonesjr.2024 Yes. You can dry it out in a low temperature oven and grind it up. Add some salt to it. I go 2 part salt to 1 part of the ground pepper remains. It's delicious.

love the video, where did you get your PH tester? just got into making hot sauce myself.
@@Fabian-g2w Thank you. I got it from Amazon. I have a link in the video description for the one I'm currently using.
First sauce i ever made out of dried peppers turned put to be my favriote one.
That's great! It's a good one. I used it on a baked whole chicken, here's the recipe if interested ua-cam.com/video/Ikl-6lwYGx8/v-deo.html

@@neenacholette6684 Glad you like it! You can water bath it. I'd say to get the pH lower into the 3.4 range though.
to make the salt (using the leftover "goodness"), is there a ratio to use? Thanks again!
its ok, I found it on your website, 1:2 ratio (pulp to kosher salt). It is sooo amazing!!
Spitfire beanie FTW!
@@AustinHeidenreich Yep!
Did you end up utilizing the strainings to make one of your tasty flavored salts?!
I did! I might show how to make the salts in future videos. I have a couple on my website though. Enjoy your day
I did the same but instead of lime, I used orange zest and a little bit orange juice and teaspoon of cocoa. No oregano
That sounds tasty too!
Fyi, If your ph is below 4.6 the sauce is shelf stable and needs no refrigeration.........
@@martydubois5604 is this valid?
Looks tasty 🤤
Thank you John, it It definitely is
boy this looks amazing. Have you done any testing with Brown Sugar alternatives such as Swerve or Sukrin Gold? I don't like the extra carbs with my sauces so I'm thinking of doing this but trying a Sucralose or Allulose based sweetener. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, it's a good sauce. I have not tried any sweetener alternatives, so I can't speak on that.
I've tried a lot of chilli paste, sauces or jams using sweeteners and it's perfect. It tastes really good.
I would be careful using sucralose. I think it causes cancer
Good 👍
It's a good one
Simple, tasty and hot. Thanks.
@@charleswood4918 No problem. Thank you for watching!
Nice!
Will dried Oregano work? Fresh herbs are too expensive for the paltry amount that you get.
Thank you! Yes, dried oregano will work just fine.
Good job
Much appreciated
Maybe toss in another different dried chile, like Guajillo, or New Mexico, just the explore variety.
You definitely can add other peppers to this.
You know this subscriber cannot take that heat, but boy I wish I could!

@@LogansInnerChef thank you so much for the answer . greetings from Greece!

I have a huge bag of these and I’m getting curious
It's a good sauce to make with these peppers. I use it on everything. Give it a try
Dude.... I was with 100%
But then u added SUGAR.
😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫 but, I sure it's delicious,I just got to avoid added sugar!
Great video😃
