Hot Pepper Sauce
|
Thoroughly cleaned glass soy sauce, terriyaki sauce, or Worcestershire bottles make ideal pepper sauce bottles for this recipe.In the bottom of each bottle, put 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pack the bottle with stemmed, washed, and dried, fresh green tabasco peppers (adding a few red and yellow for color, if available). Fill bottle with boiling white vinegar. While still warm, but not hot, put 2 or 3 drops of olive oil on top of vinegar. Ready to use in about 3 weeks.
** This is from 'Celebrations on the Bayou', by the 'Junior League of Monroe, Inc.', and it states that --'This recipe was from the files of Dr. Neil Buie who was famous throughout Northeast Louisiana for his Hot Pepper Sauce. These are his instructions.'
Thank you to Dr. Buie . . . this has been my own never-fail way to make pepper sauce, which adds so much to peas, beans, greens, cabbage, and just about anything else you may want to dash it on. Bottles of this make wonderful gifts. I grow tabasco peppers each year just for this sauce, and save up my small bottles all year long.
