Southern Pepper Sauce

Submitted by Bill Butler

"Pepper Sauce is a Southern Condiment (Not to be confused with Hot Sauce) that is primarily used on Greens, Southern Peas and Cornbread and just about anything you want to add a bit of spice. I like to have some red and some green peppers so the bottle looks better on the table but that is optional. Wear plastic gloves when handling peppers. You can also add a teaspoon of Olive Oil if you like some extra heat."
