Make it: Hot Sauce

IMG_3539

Good news! Making your own hot sauce is super easy and takes no time at all.

First, the peppers on our pepper plant turned from sweet to HOT, seemingly overnight. I'm not positive what type of pepper we have, maybe a California Anaheim that hasn't turned red? Either way, my non-spicy-tolerant husband hilariously threw a couple of them into his morning omelet and had steam coming out of his ears.

Second, our plant has gone crazy—it's been producing loads of fruit all summer. After the requisite salsa and salads, I had to get creative: homemade hot sauce! I loosely followed Mark Bittman's recipe for DIY hot sauce and cannot believe how simple it is.

The result is incredible: smoky, hot, sweet, fresh. I've been putting it on everything, from scrambled eggs to pasta to quinoa & veggie bowls.

Wouldn't this make a great Christmas present for the hot sauce fiend in your life?
