- A comment from a well-known hot sauce lover:
"This is the perfect Country & Western hot sauce. I had some with chicken today and it sure was good. It has a good spicy flavor but is still not so hot that it's overpowering. It is thin enough that it will still pour while remaining thick enough that it stays on your food. Thank You!"
HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE
Yield: Approximately 4 Cups
INGREDIENTS
40 Fresh Hot Peppers of Choice (a mix of cayenne, jalapeno, habanero, hot banana, etc.)
3 C. White Vinegar (plus more for consistency preference)
1 t. Salt
2 T. Minced Garlic (fresh or in water)
DIRECTIONS
Wash and slice peppers into rings. In a large pot, add peppers, salt, garlic, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low boil until the peppers are soft.
Using an immersion blender, regular blender, or food processor, puree the pepper mixture until smooth. The seeds will remain and will be strained out using a wire mesh strainer.
To the seedless hot sauce, add additional vinegar and/or salt to your taste preference. Additional vinegar may be necessary to obtain the consistency you prefer.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a year. If you want to store the hot sauce longer, see the next steps for water bath canning.
Fill half-pint or pint mason jars to within ½ to ¼ inch headspace. Apply lids and bands, fingertip tight. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. When the processing time is up, turn the heat off and remove the lid from the canner. Allow jars to remain in the water for 5 minutes before removing them from the canner onto a towel.
Let jars cool for 12-24 hours and the lids are sealed. Remove bands, wash jars if needed, label, and store in your pantry.
*You can tailor this hot sauce to suit your preference, whether that is mild, medium, or hot. Choose fresh peppers as such to control the intensity.

Altitude Adjustments for Water Bath Canning:
1,001 to 3,000 feet, increase processing time by 5 minutes.
3,001 to 6,000 feet, increase processing time by 10 minutes.
6,001 to 8,000 feet, increase processing time by 15 minutes.
8,001 to 10,000 feet, increase processing time by 20 minutes.
Our canning process meets modern recommended methods. Check out this website, healthycanning.com, for more information.
FAQ: What is the shelf-life of home-canned goods?
As long as the lids/seals are intact to the jars and there is no evident content spoilage (discoloration, foam, froth, malodorous, or any other obvious signs), they are good for many months or years. "Looks good, smells good, is good". We have eaten our home-canned foods that are upwards of 10 years old from the original processing date. When in doubt, throw it out.
Our portable burner is made by Cadco/Broil King, a solid cast burner in stainless housing. Model PCR-1S, 1500 watts, commercial cooking appliance. Purchased from Amazon.
Why we store our home canned goods without the bands/rings on the jars:
1. The rings are designed to keep the lid on during the processing and cooling phases of canning. Beyond that, they serve no purpose. The lids/seals are held on by suction, not the bands/rings.
2. If the bands/rings are left on the jars, this could result in a false seal, causing the contents to spoil.
3. Bands/rings eventually rust if left on the jars, making them quite difficult to remove.
4. It's a proper technique and a safety issue.

Great video. Dehydrate the leftover mash after straining and keep for seasoning.
Ooooh! That's a GREAT idea!
Thanks for the 💡
Was wondering what to do with that. Thanks
Chicken wings and any sauces. I put that crap on everything 😂
Perfect thanks for sharing the easy method😁👍👍❤️
another nice video thanks
dehydrate the leftover seeds and pulp. Makes a great seasoning powder.
Another great video. You never over-complicate things and you make things possible. When I am eating I often say 'Do you know what this needs? Hot sauce!' I can't wait to make my own.
Thanks for watching! Let us know how your hot sauce turns out.
Thank you so much for sharing and explaining as you go for us beginners
Thanks for sharing ‼️
this is an excellent video....thx for posting....
going to make this soon. Thanks for sharing.
Well I sure have a good supply of good peppers and this recipe looks like a winner to me. So simple and easy to do. Thank you for sharing it. Great video by the way. Straight to the point. No fussy talk about your family or personal issues. I appreciate that.
We appreciate your kindness, thank you.
Best video I've seen yet on explaining the process 😊
Appreciate the positive feedback!
Tks for sharing. I’ll be trying this
Let us know how it turns out for you! Thanks for watching.
Have a lot of peppers this year. Gonna have to this a try. Thank you.
This came out great, Very hot but also tast great. Thank You
lovely , mine turned out great, love this recipe.
Glad to hear and that you like it. Enjoy and have a blessed week.
VERY NICE VIDEO!!!!! New to hot sauce making and this was a perfect video for me!!!! Thanks!
We appreciate your feedback.
Thank you 👍
This seems like a delish and straight forward recipe .. I’m going to make it this weekend - thank you for sharing it with us 😊
You are welcome. Let us know if you have any questions. Blessings!
I'm doing same thing today.
just done this, bang on! added some blueberries and a pinch of carolina reaper powder for variety and also left out the garlic as it upsets me - awesome, nice one
Thank you. It’s nice being able to make it the way you want. Have a great weekend!
Thank you
❤❤❤ I wish I could test that sauce thank you
Ohhhhh it’s good!!
My husband loves hot sauce, i am definitely going to make this for him. I always tell him he drinks hot sauce. Hope it doesn’t burn my eyes. 2:43 am. Boston.
It will only burn your eyes if you get some of the hot peppers in them. I will recommend rinsing the mesh strainer under cold water after using it to strain pepper mixture, otherwise it WILL definitely choke you up!
Have you ever made hot pepper jelly? We made it recently and it is delicious! We kept the seeds in, by the way, and it was still good. 😊
We have made a hot pepper jelly, but intentionally made it more like a sauce consistency for use in stir fry and other one pot meals. We cleaned, removed seeds, and chopped the peppers for our hot pepper sauce. It’s always nice to have the ability for creating delicious foods you enjoy!
Good video, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your assistance. Hope you have a great (or Habanero) day😊
Damn it!!! Where does somebody complain around here??? 😂 I ain't got any but I was just wondering 😊 We be Jammin' 😮
I always put the caps in boiling water before putting them on jar. that makes sure they sealtight. good recipe I will try it. thanks.
We’ve never heated up lids in all of our 27 years of home canning and have never had any issues. The gasket gets good and hot during the canning process. Everyone seems to have their preferences and thats okay! We appreciate your comment, take care.
New caps don't need it. Ball changed their sealant.
I should try this. I love hot sauce a bit on the hot side. This depends on ones tolerance. Currently I have Yucateco. Good and hot habanero. It has to have good flavor and not just heat. I have made really good but very hot salsa.
Nice thank you
Thank you for watching. Have a great weekend.
What about drying the leftover seeds and grinding them up for use as a pepper powder type of spice. Could be ground to a fine or coarse grind. Maybe even mixed with some other spices to create some spicy blend of seasoning. Loved the video. Thank you!
Yes, you could do that. We’ve done that in the past many times. It will definitely light up chili soup, just ask the guys my husband used to work with, lol. They had hiccups, red faces, and were sneezing. A little bit goes a long way.
I am making my own and 8ts good add some peppers if too hot 🔥 .good job ma'am
Thanks! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Yes, it's good for chicken and meat items or on BBQ. But do you sauce for fish items like dipping sauce for fish ball and cakes?
I would be proud of that hot sauce madam, it looks amazing.
We appreciate your kindness and the sauce is pretty awesome too! Thank you.
👍
Thanks!
What brand of store sauce would you say this most mimics if you had to choose? Sauce looks terrific!
Not for sure as I’m not trying to mimic store products but if I had to guess, Franks Hot Sauce?? We love this hot sauce and use nothing else.
I've tinkered with hot sauce for years and basically gave up on it. It was either so blazing hot you couldn't eat it, or it was lackluster in heat and disappointing. This has inspired me to try again. I'll be planning my pepper selections for planting in the spring. Our garden is done for this year. Thanks for the inspiration!
Don’t give up! It’s really pretty easy and worth every ounce of effort. Blend the hot peppers to suit your taste. We used mostly jalapeño and hot banana, some cayenne, and a few habanero peppers. We made 2 large batches this year and really enjoy it!
❤ your recipe looks delicious.. I make my own pepper sauce and can my own whole Peppers as well but I think I would leave the Habanero's out even though I speak Spanish I am not very brave for Habaneros I will use every other kind of pepper even the ones that grow wild that we called Chile pequin.. those are extremely hot but Habaneros are bitter in the throat.❤😊
That’s the best thing about making your own, you can tailor it to your taste!
well I had three large red peppers and 6 small red jalepenos so I gave it a shot....I found I needed to add more vinegar and salt.....it only amounted to about 2 cups that I canned and another cup in the fridge....hotter than you might think but similar to red hot for sure....thx again....another new thing I tried this year.
Very nice 👍🏻
Love this recipe
We enjoy it and hope you like it too!
@@OutdoorsandCountryLivingI couldn’t find the recipe.
@@user-sg8zm7it9r it’s typed out in the video description. Click “more” for the information.
Great video. Can I replace the salt with a salt-free seasoning blend?
You can simply omit the salt if desired. Using a salt substitute is not recommended, as this can cause an undesirable taste, especially when canning it.
Hi this is the first recipe showing how to can for extended shelf life, i was wondering if this could be made with all jalapeño peppers i seem to have a lot of them this year
You may use whatever type of hot peppers you like.
Great video. Hi, new to your channel. Can you mixed frozen peppers with fresh peppers to make hot sauce?
Sure can!
@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving thank you for replying. Blessings
@@mygrannysgarden our pleasure, blessings to you as well.
I'm curious if you have tried using apple cider vinegar rather than white vinegar for this recipe to give the sauce a more sweet taste, and if so would the acid affect the long term shelf life for canning if using apple cider because the acidity level is lower
We have not used apple cider vinegar for making hot sauce. Most vinegar is 5% acidity. Do not use any vinegar less than 5%.
You should keep the seeds to dehydrate and make a seasoning no waste
You absolutely can do that. We have in the past but didn’t need to when this batch was created.
I was a the grocery store and thought their franks hot sauce was a little pricy so i didnt buy it but leaving the he store i noticed they had red pepper 🌶️ hanging baskets that were reduced price 10 buck and it had tones of peppers .
I took it home and i must have plucked about 5-7 lbs lol so i will make my own hot sauce and i like this recipe and will give it go 🙂 thx
Sounds like a winner! Hope your sauce turns out great.
That amount of vinegar needs more salt and sugar to give the pepper sauce an equilibrium taste. I'd have added onions, and something fruity such as a half ripe mango or apple.
@@fabiennemitchell2371 that’s the best part about creating your own hot sauce, it can be made according to your preference!
Are you growing your own peppers ?, the cost to buy them today if I can even find a good variety would be costly.
Yes, we grow our own peppers.
Can you keep the bands on the jars
You could, however, it’s best practice not to. Bands could rust making them difficult to remove and/or by having the bands on, it could portray a false seal on the lids. Thanks for watching!
If you don’t do the water method can you not dry store them?
If you don’t water bath can the sauce, it must be stored in the refrigerator. It will last 6-12+ months in the refrigerator.
What do y’all use this on? Is it fire hot?
We use hot sauce on just about anything. Tacos, chili, soup beans, sandwiches, chicken breasts, chicken wings, any cut of chicken really, on top of a cracker with cream cheese, as a dipping sauce, on roast beef, pulled pork, etc. The possibilities are endless if you like hot sauce.
As for the intensity of the hot sauce, this is all dependent upon what kind of hot peppers you use. You can make it mild, medium, or hot. Our blend had cayenne, jalapeno, hot banana, and habanero peppers. No specific count of each kind, just what the garden had to offer us that day.
Thanks for watching!
Nice. Why not take the seeds out from the start?
You could but we find that it’s too tedious and time consuming. We find it easier to strain them out after cooking and blending. Do what works best for you!
How long would they stay if not kept in the fridge
Up to 6 months at room temperature. The high vinegar content prevents bacteria from growing. Longevity is attained with refrigeration or canning.
can you can quarts? and how long
Sure! Process quarts in a water bath canner for 25 minutes.
The only thing that I would change, use Braggs organic apple cider viniger, taste so much better.
Go for it! We like raw apple cider vinegar too but it’s quite expensive now and using raw vinegar is great but the canning process deletes the health properties of it.
@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving It's all about the taste! ;)
Just double checking for this recipe - we are only going to use 1 teaspoon of salt?? What kind of salt? Thank you!
Yes, 1 teaspoon of salt. The amount of salt be adjusted up or down to your preference. We use a natural pink Himalayan salt. The recipe is listed in the video description. Click “more” for the details.
Thank you so very much!@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving
What i see people doing with the seed and pulp left over is dehydrating it and powdering it for chillie powder
Yes, you definitely can do that! We have so many dehydrated hot peppers and hot pepper powder blends from years past that we don’t need to do this, lol. We appreciate you watching, thank you!
Do you ever remove the seeds from the pods or at least seeds from 3/4 of the peppers ? With all those seeds it would be really HOT.
We do not, the heat primarily comes from the chosen peppers, not the seeds. We make hot sauce in bulk, so taking the time to remove all or some of the seeds from raw peppers is way too time consuming when you are processing a half bushel + of peppers at once. To each their own, remove some if you like. We usually add around 8 habaneros and 16-20 cayenne peppers to each large batch, the rest are jalapeños and hot banana peppers. Not too overpowering, even ladies like it. Adjust the intensity to your desired level with the right hot pepper choices.
And I forgot to ask after viewing the video, what is the purpose for the water bath ? is it to seal the jar or help preserve the contents ? how long will the hot sauce last when stored ?@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving
@@richardsmith4187 yes, the canning process seals the lids making the hot sauce shelf stable for long term use. Will last several years on the pantry shelf if canned.
Thank you, Think I'm going to be making hot sauce soon !@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving
@@richardsmith4187 that’s great, you’re going to enjoy it!
Hello , do you have videos on how to grow those different peppers?
We haven’t created any. It’s pretty simple and self explanatory. We like to buy young pepper plants at a local greenhouse each spring. Usually 4 plants per pack. Plant the plants in the ground, spaced as recommended on the tag that comes with the plants. Water and remove weeds on a regular basis. Harvest the peppers in the late summer/early fall. Be sure to plant sweet and hot peppers apart. Sweet peppers in one garden and hot peppers in another. This prevents cross pollination so your sweet peppers won’t be hot and the hot peppers won’t be sweet.
i want to start a small hot sauce business here in my country south Sudan
hope you can help me out with ways to help the shot sauce last longer
Thanks
Hot sauce made with 5% acidic vinegar will last 6 months at room temperature and longer if kept refrigerated. Canning hot sauce, as shown in this video, allows for long shelf life at room temperature. Best of luck!
I dont have a frig how can i keep it plz iwant to start business
Thanks for the video. What percentage of acid in vinegar is best for sauces that last for a year?
@@emeliamangeya1712 for all canning/food preservation purposes, vinegar with a 5% acidity level is required.
What kind of salt do you use?
We use pink Himalayan salt but any non-iodized salt is fine. Other natural salt options include Real Salt or Celtic Salt. Iodized salt is not recommended for canning as it alters the taste and clarity.
Thankyou so much for the quick reply back as I'm making a few batches of that hot sauce. I'm thinking of adding some onion to it, that should be good, right?
I can not find the vingar, salt, water measurements?
This is found in the video description under “more”. The vinegar amount will vary depending upon how thin you prefer the sauce. No water is used in the making of the hot sauce.
HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE
Yield: Approximately 4 Cups
INGREDIENTS
40 Fresh Hot Peppers of Choice (a mix of cayenne, jalapeno, habanero, hot banana, etc.)
3 C. White Vinegar (plus more for consistency preference)
1 t. Salt
2 T. Minced Garlic (fresh or in water)
hello@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving what does the t stand for teaspoons or tablespoons? thanks
@@julieburch2536 Lowercase “t” is teaspoon, Capital “T” is tablespoon.
Thank you. Have a great week!
Thank you. Have a great week!
In your recipe it says the yield is 4 cups but you got way more. You should change that part of the recipe.
What I made in the video was a doubled (or more) batch and it was mentioned. The recipe and measurements are correct. Recipe is also typed out in the video description. I tend to process home canned foods in bulk quantities, much larger than most folks would do, so making manageable quantities is always a good idea. We grow all of our own food that we preserve and our gardens are not small. The quantity of food that we harvest is large which results in large quantities preserved.
My god that looks good, marry me lol
My husband doesn’t share. It’s definitely an awesome hot sauce.
@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving lol I'm a hot sauce guy definitely gonna follow this recipe
Ya my wifey wouldn't like it either lol
Looks like everyone is telling you what to do with the pulps put you already dealt with it . People 😊
Lol, we appreciate your comment.
Throw them in a absent part of the yard , a;ong the fence. Pesticide repelant,
Looks delicious...and a great way to fumigate your house too!
Lol, it will choke you if you’re not careful!
I don’t see the recipe
