Best Hot Sauce
6
Shilo
"If hot sauce is your thing, you will love, love, love this fresh tasty recipe. I first tried a version of this hot sauce in Cameroon, Africa. I couldn't get enough of it; no matter where you ate, there would be a small bowl of this divine sauce on the table, each unique to the person making it. Only recently have I actively searched out the recipe. I did not follow the recipe to a tee, but combined this recipe with another a close friend gave me. In the end, I can't argue the results!"

- Cook's Notes:
- I suggest you use the measurements in this recipe as a starting point, and adjust any of the ingredients to your taste. It really does all depend on how you like it. Don't feel tied to these measures; feel free to make it your own.
- I usually leave tomato out altogether, adding a splash of lemon juice instead. I like the sauce to be more concentrated, but if you like a sauce with a little less heat, then you can add tomatoes to taste.
- Sauce will keep longest in the refrigerator if fully covered in oil.

I know the recipe says beef bouillon, but I actually use chicken. You can use any type of bouillon you like.

This was very tasty!! For me, as-is needed a few things. And its Feb so peppers are obviously not in season. Im sure with peppers straight out of my garden it'd be better. For me it needed vin...

It was AMAZING. I doubled the recipe, used Santa Fe Grande peppers instead of chili peppers because I'm a wimp, and threw in a couple extra dates and an extra garlic clove or two. Used Minors Be...
