" Fire" Sauce

"I can't seem to make enough of this sauce--and I triple the recipe every time. My family uses it on eggs, hash browns, taco's and burritos (of course). So, if you like this type of thing, this is the sauce for you!"

  1. I was excited to find fire sauce in the store, but after our family went through almost the whole bottle in one meal, I figured I'd better find a good alternative. This recipe has almost the same ingredients and tastes very similar side by side. I store it in an old pickle jar and use a small ladle to serve. I make it according to directions except blending the jalepenos in a mini food processor and doubling the corn starch to make it a bit more like the store-bought.
     
  2. What more can I say about this sauce then it is wonderful! Loved it and will be making it lots more. Thanks.
     
  3. This is the best, Carol!!! I'm making this from now on instead of buying my usual Louisiana hot sauce... which I was addicted to until now. Very easy to put together and I like that I can alter the salt content (I used half the amount, maybe next time I'll omit it?) and it still turned out fantastic.
     
  4. This stuff is fantastic. Not sure about the heat level, but the flavor is exactly what I remember. That's not to say it isn't spicy, I'm just used to hot sauces made with superhot peppers. Speaking of superhots, If you want it to taste like diablo sauce, get a bottle of "the end flatline" and put 3 drops in the mix. Finely mincing the sliced jalapenos by hand might be a bit difficult, so I suggest you use a garlic press, if you have one. A neat little trick for tomato paste. If you open both sides of the can with a can opener, you can push out the tomato paste in stead of scraping it out the can. Its far faster, and just as efficient as using a spoon. I found these bottles locally. This recipe will fill both of these to the top with no room or sauce to spare. Even in my case, where I used minced onion in stead of flaked, the large cap allows for easily squeezable sauce. The chunks get stuck in the smaller bottle cap, but it could be remedied by using flakes in stead of minced. I also could just cook everything in my ninja hot and cold blender. Okay. I'm getting off topic now. Anyway, thank you, Carol, for sharing this wonderful recipe. You've saved me a decent amount of money. The bottles in the store weren't cheap!

  1. This sause is great! I made it, and it tasted just like the 'real' thing. My husband couldn't tell the difference. They just never give you enough of the stuff in those little packs, this is great! It took about 10 minutes to make, and, I don't know if I can do this or not, but I didn't have tomato paste so I used ketchup instead...it worked out fine.(I read somewhere you can substitute ketchup for tomato PASTE in a recipe, and I've done it millions of times. it always works for me.) It's the best. Thank you so much for sharing!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

One of my passions (after my husband, 2 sons and their families) is cooking, from simple things to gourmet. I get great pleasure out of pleasing my family and they return the favor to me. We do a lot of family things together, but probably our favorite is going camping, getting a little grubby and doing alot of trout fishing. Both of my sons, my brother and myself love to cook (even when we are camping) so everyone around us eats quite well. We have gotten into Dutch Oven cooking when we are on these trips. It's a lot of fun and everything tastes so good! But when you're out in the fresh air, even burnt hot dogs are great. My greatest hobby, the past few years, is making personalized cook books for my closest friends and family. Everyone seems to enjoy them and I add recipes to them every day. I started with a volume for myself, because I got tired of trying to remember which cook book a recipe was in....it has increased to five volumes and will soon be six. I have done the same for them, too, and enjoy every minute of it.
