Homemade Pepper Sauce

p3skyking
I got ahold of some ghost peppers a couple of days ago with the intention of making some pepper sauce. I also picked up a bottle of rice vinegar since I don't care for real acidic pepper sauce.

I was warned to wear glove when stripping the seeds out, but blew it off.

Next time, I'll wear the gloves. I got them stripped down, but my hands were on fire. Soap, bleach, ammonia, Nothing was working. Finally, I broke down and used a cup of milk. The lactic acid in milk mitigates the effects of pepper spray so it works on peppers too. That's how cheese and milk tames Mexican food.

It worked. I have a bottle of ghost pepper sauce that was given to me. It's really flavorable and only a little hotter than Avery Island Tabasco Sauce. This will be some good sauce too.

    tisk tisk, after all these years this just shows no one listens

    fyi{again} alcohol neutralizes the capsicum

    apple cider vinegar is the #1 choice for hot sauces, but any vinegar is mainly used to make it shelf stable with a ph of 4.3 or less, not necessary if your making a small batch and refrigerate


    you think its off your hands, but its not {not that i know anything about it }

    I made the ghost peppersauce today.

    Hot as hell, three drops lit up a bowl of ravioli.
    I put a drop on my tongue and it was like a spoon of cayenne.

    I won't be chugging this like Tabasco. [:p]
