Barberton Hot Sauce

Submitted by Jane from Ohio

"Barberton, Ohio is noted for it's chicken restaurants. They all serve hot sauce. They will not give out the recipe. I found this on the internet a few years ago and it is very close. We make this a lot. It also freezes well, you just have to put more liquid in."
