This turned out terrific! My husband loves bottled hot sauce but likes this better. Use a food mill to puree... or pour hot liquid slowly into blender while running. Can't wait to make hot-wings with it!!

So good! I have always liked a hot sauce with flavor as well as heat, and while I only added 50 peppers, both were excellent! And easy ingredients too.

This is hot! Used 50 serrano peppers and 25 jalapenos. Took forever to cook down but it is the consistency of sriracha in the end.
