I used to make my own hot sauce when I lived in the tropics. I’ve been trying to dry my peppers each year, but didn’t have good luck. They mostly got moldy inside. I resorted to freezing them. This year I was considering making sauce again. In the tropics you can buy peppers year round, so no need to make a big batch to worry about going bad.
Now when I grow my own, it’s a once a year thing.
I used to use to use vinegar or lime juice adding salt or sometimes Maggi cubes. Who makes their own hot sauce? What is your recipe? Can you keep it for a year without refrigeration? Maybe I need to consider some sort of canning process.
Thanks
