Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Plastic gloves
  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Food processor
  • Pot with lid
  • Mixing spatula
  • Mason jar or sauce bottle
  • Stove

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pcs. onions medium-sized
  • 4 pcs. red bell peppers
  • 4 pcs. red chili peppers fresh
  • 10 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tsp. oregano dried
  • 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 pcs. Carolina Reapers dried

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the sauce ingredients. Peel and cut the onions into big chunks. Peel the garlic cloves. Cut the stems of the bell peppers and deseed them.
  • Wearing plastic gloves, cut the stems of the fresh chilis and dried Carolina Reapers.
  • Put all the sauce ingredients into a food processor container. Run it until you get a homogenous mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a pot. With the lid half covered, heat the sauce on medium heat on the stove. When the mixture reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes until it thickens. Stir occasionally. Remove the pot from the heat when you have a thick sauce.
  • Pour the sauce into a sterilized mason jar or a sauce bottle. Close the lid tightly.

Notes

  • When freezing the sauce, it's best to do it in tiny portions. For this, you can freeze the hot sauce in ice cubes. Small portioning gives you more control in adjusting the heat level.
