Homemade Green Tabasco Sauce
A fiery bright green homemade Tabasco sauce!
Servings: 16
Ingredients
green tabasco
- 1 lb Serrano or jalapeno peppers*
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white or cider vinegar
Instructions
- First make the tabasco ~ Rinse the peppers, and cut off the stem tops. Slice the peppers, seeds and all. Put them into the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic, salt and brown sugar. Puree the mixture, pulsing and scraping down the sides of the machine as necessary to get it as finely pureed as you can. Note: Be careful as the fumes will be powerful. You may want to wear gloves, and be careful not to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth while working with hot peppers.
- Add the vinegar to the peppers and stir well. Put the mash in a bowl or jar with a lid and refrigerate for 24 - 48 hours.
- Strain the mixture through a mesh seive, pressing with the back of a spoon to get all the liquid out. Do it in batches, and keep at it --- the more you press the more liquid will be released. You should end up with at least a cup of sauce.
- Store the sauce in a clean bottle in the refrigerator. It should last a couple of months.
- Give the bottle a shake before using as the contents will settle.
Notes
*Serrano peppers are hotter than jalapeños, so choose your Serranos for a hotter sauce, and jalapeños for a milder version.
Hot peppers are powerful, so be sure to wash well after handling them, and be extra careful around pets and children. If you're sensitive to hot peppers, wear rubber gloves.
