Copycat Franks Red Hot Sauce

Step 1

USING FRESH CAYENNE PEPPERS.

Step 2

There are two different ways to prepare this sauce. You can use fresh cayenne peppers, or you can use cayenne peppers from your garden that you have canned.

Step 3

If you're using fresh cayenne peppers, simply remove the ends and measure all of the ingredients into a small saucepan.

Step 4

Heat over medium heat until boiling.

Step 5

Reduce the heat slightly, but so the mixture continues to boil.

Step 6

Simmer about 20-25 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the mixture from heat, carefully pour it into a blender & puree until thick and smooth.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and simmer another 15 minutes.

Step 9

USING CANNED CAYENNE PEPPERS.

Step 10

If you're using canned cayenne peppers, which is what we used in this particular recipe --.

Step 11

In a blender add 18 peppers, 1 cup of vinegar (we used the juice from our home-canned peppers), garlic, salt, and garlic powder.

Step 12

Cover and puree until smooth.

Step 13

Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Step 14

Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 15

The sauce is much better if you allow the flavors to marry overnight in the fridge, but if you don't have enough time to let it marinate overnight it will still turn out great wings!
