New family favorite! It is a Tabasco style hot sauce, not a chili salsa. I used rice vinegar because it is mild and allows the serrano flavor to shine through. The heat was not overwhelming and was a forward heat that didn't linger. This one's a keeper.
I do this but I substitute 4 serranos for 2-3 jalapeños. It evens it out for my friends who need a slightly milder sauce! I also use a touch less vinegar than 1 1/2 cups when I do this. Awesome sauce and so easy. Thanks!
Basic recipe ok except for salt portion. 1 tsp salt is enoutg. The 1.5 tbs of salt called for.in recipe turns serano hot sauce in to a salt bomb and is waste of peppers and effort. Also, Apple cider vinegar diluted with water a bit is much better flavor for sauce.
It didn't dawn on me until after I was done making the recipe that basically all you are doing here is flavoring the vinegar and making your own green pepper sauce such as Tobasco. There isn't anything wrong with that but I just didn't realize that at first and thought I'd mention for those making it next. I plan on saving an empty shaker bottle and keeping this in my fridge at all times.
Love it! I replaced the sea salt with fish sauce
Serranos were on sale at my favorite local grocery store so I bought a pound and had some leftover and thought why not give this recipe a try. Hell yes! Glad I did amazing taste great balance of heat & flavour
I used the food processor to pulverize about 10 lbs of Serrano peppers garlic sea salt and vinegar per the recipe. I place the boiled slurry in sealed quart jars for 2 days in the frig. I strained the slurry using a fine mesh strainer into a 3 quart sauce pan (nice consistency thick liquid) and funneled into pepper sauce jars. Flavor is hot but not volcanic. Love it
I made this with my homegrown serranos i used half green and half red. I also added 2 dried jalapeno from my garden last year. Turned out great just enough to make your forehead damp. Next time i make this i will only use a cup of vinegar to start with though a little thin for my likeing but still very tastey.
