  • nice blender, was it george washingtons?

  • @hillhead11 It's a Timex-Sinclair...

  • Comment removed

  • How long dose it keep? I made it 2 and half weeks ago. Really simple, but very tasty hot sauce recipe.

  • @Th3Cr33pSh0w That's a great question! The thing is I have never had the sauce long enough to tell! A couple of months in the fridge has been the standard when I make a big pot of the stuff. It's never gone bad but then again it gets used up fast. In the interest of science I will withhold a batch next time to see how long it goes. If you keep the bottle clean between fillings it should not be a problem. It is essentially a pickle... thus preserved.

  • @emmfc thanks for the quick response. I was guessing at that to , I just was not sure. It is the first time I have made my own hot sauce. You weren't kidding about how noxious the fumes can be. I had the windows open, but accidentally took a huge whiff of it and wound of with an instant head ache.

  • Mmmmmm, mustard gas...

  • Boy Canada00girl..All your post's are negative.

  • the thing about red jalapenos is this they are the ripe ones the green ones are unripe

  • @stevep119 Thanks for the info! Are the reds hotter? If so, much hotter? Or just a bit?

  • How old is that blender?

  • @colbrew I am pretty sure it goes back to the 60s. I checked once but no longer remember exactly. I'll look into it.

  • @emmfc that's a sweet blender, I have one from the 70s but we broke the glass for it!!!

  • @tomdelongedreamer That has to hurt! Bet you can get a replacement on ebay...

  • good video but we didn't "need" to watch the blender that long - we get the picture!!

  • @canada00girl Cinema Verite... what can I tell you?

  • thank you so much ive looked at so many video's and this was the best ever!

  • @johnholla1 Well, that's might kind of you to say. Big Grin!

  • good video man! thanks

  • @TheOneLordApraxia Thanks!!!

  • the dude abides!

  • @greyswans Aw, shucks...

  • the robe is f*in awesome!!!

  • @xahx Read below...

  • do u have to wait two weeks?? cuz i just wanna drink it rite outta the blender

  • @micheallover247 Unfortunately waiting is best. The flavors blend and REALLY heat up after 2 weeks. Wait longer if you can for more heat. But it is tempting. I have tested it at a week and it's ok, but not up to the 2 week mark. Life's unfair...

  • @emmfc Do you have to use Jalapenos when making hotsauce? I was thinking about using wasabi after trying sushi for the first time. It's like dynamite, a tiny piece will bring you to tears, lol.

  • Red jalapenos are fully ripened.  They're going to be sweeter-- just like a red bell pepper is compared to a green one.

    I'm guessing habaneros ripen faster or something because you never see a green one. They tend to be yellow, orange, red, or somewhere in-between.

  • @ocelotxp Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise! Much appreciated.

  • Hi, Thanks for the simple but great recipe!!! I tried it twice and it is absolutely great! I didn't used jalapenos because there aren't any jalapenos sold here in Bulgaria but I used a mixture of two local sorts of green hot peppers. We also do not have white distilled vinegar in Bulgaria so I used white balsamic vinegar the first time and the sauce turned out with a very pleasant hot-sour-sweet taste. The second time I used apple vinegar and it was also very fresh and tasty.

    Thank you again!

  • @scaraneca Glad you like this. It is one of my favorite recipes too. I use it all the time.

  • Don't forget to wash your hands and do not touch your eyes or any other body parts

  • @robertmyers04 AMEN!!! I once had a most distressing experience along those lines, but further south than my eyes if you get my drift. With the REALLY hot peppers I always use surgical gloves. And STILL wash my hands after. Even a tiny tear can lead to immense harm. Thanks for posting that!!! Much appreciated!

  • Jeez, that robe gets more attention than the sauce does... I explain it waaaaay down below in the comments. :-)

  • Nice robe. haaa!

  • How to make hot sauce with George Clooney.

  • 1:10 hahaha

  • @sliknutzzzz The cooking softens them up and gets out the flavor along with the heat. I have a habanero recipe that does not cook them, but those are small and soft. I like this the way it is. Those round, red hot peppers work beautifullly with this as well, BTW.

  • What happens if you don't boil the jalapenos? Why do they have to be cooked?

  • made this with a bunch of bhut jolokias

  • @44SIMMY Cool! How'd it turn out?

  • @emmfc unbelievably hot. was choking on the fumes while it was cooking lol

  • Semi real men makes it with habanero and real men with naga jolokia

  • @Folley1983 How can anyone but an idiot make jalapeno sauce with habaneros? One makes habanero sauce with habaneros, dolt.

  • That just made my life easier! I'm planning to start a hot-sauce business, and I'm dying to experiment, and now I know how! Many thanks!

  • @Bouncer9000 It is a nice, basic recipe that can be enhanced in many ways. We'll discuss my commission later ;-)

  • ok im gonna make this tomorrow

  • @pandmonium2k7 Great! Let me know how it goes. And it realy does taste hotter and better if you let it sit in the refrigerator before straining it...

  • I was just about to make this until i heard two weeks ohh noooo

    I want it now lol

  • Nice oldschool recipe. Some people really still buy tabasco...

  • @megustamadrid Of all the commercial stuff, Tabasco is still my favorite but it is so expensive that I feel ripped-off unless I find a close-out at the Dollar Store. But this is so easy and so fresh and as hot as you want it to me. I add a scotch bonnet sometimes. I also have a wicked habanero recipe that really clears the sinuses! Have you made your own? Got a recipe or video to share, put it here if you want.

    Peace!

  • @emmfc There is a book called Hot Sauce Bible by Dave DeWitt. They don't sell it anymore but you can get it used on amazon. Haven't got one myself, but I know a few recipes from it. All of them are fantastic. Most of them are pretty vinigar heavy, which isn't really surprising, but I like to use some lemon juice instead somtimes.

    I will post a recipe of my favorite Habanero Sauce if I find the time.

  • Looks good, you think cayenne peppers would work like that?

  • @pandmonium2k7 Give it a try and let us know. I just made some using those round, bright red peppers that look like little tomatoes. It is great, but not quite as hot. Cayenne is the main ingredient in things like FRANK'S hot sauce. They age them, so tehy will always taste different, but it should work just fine.

  • That's one cool old school blender 

  • @cheechwizzard101 Yes it sure is. And I have a toaster from 1932 that works perfectly too. Made in America once upon a time...

  • @emmfc Wowwww, that's awesome, they don't them like they use to. i'm always replacing my blenders as they make them so fragile now...

  • epic, making hot sauce in a robe, yer a harsh pimp man!! im for sure using this recipe

  • @MichaelGrabner LOL! I had no intention of releasing this; just a lighting/camera test. But I liked it and there you have it...

  • cool sweet thanks for the recipe..

    Do you Cook the jars with the lid on top for 2 hours after so you can store that shit up for years ?

  • @Vleesball No, I don't go that route. I just keep it in the refrigerator and make a batch as I need it. I suppose you could slap it into mason® jars...

  • I want to make this for a Xmas gift for about 20 people, any suggestions on bottles/fun labels? thanks for the recipe!!

  • @whfagley I LOVE making labels. Sometimes I think I do food things just to make the labels. I use old Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Hot Sauce bottles. Also, those little glass Clamato bottles are GREAT. They are a perfect size and are glass, which is reusable. Try doing labels in any word processing program. Get firemen images from the web! They look great on hot sauce!

  • thanks for sharing your recipe emmfc, can you tell what volume is 1/2 pound of jalapenos? i have no way to weigh pepper, about 2 cup maybe? and your finished sauce was that about 3 cup when finished? thanks much!!!!

  • @daikaiju20 Oh, hell! I have no idea, really. Here in NYC every produce market has a scale available. I will check it out next time I do this. As to the volume I am pretty sure it was less than that. I have only done this once in the last few years owing to a nasty illness that left me lolling around in bed 24/7. Just getting back to the swim of things. So I will post both answers real soon.

  • @daikaiju20 IMMA CHEF AND COOKED IN PHOENIX FOR FORTY YEARS

  • most importantly, how does it taste Emmfc? I am going to make my own hot sauce, this recipe seems easy and quick. hows the taste?

  • @XxTeccaxX It tastes very good. If you stick to jalapenos it tastes like they do. You can thin it out and balance it with more vinegar after the 2 weeks to suit your taste. Naturally it does not taste like Tabasco - they use unique peppers and age them - but it is might close to their costly green hot sauce.

    This recipe also adapts well with other peppers tossed in.

  • Why did you cut them up if you're gonna put them in the blender anyway??? It makes no sense specially if it heats up the place like that. Wow!!! Can't believe you put that in your mouth. I'm getting a good kick at watching you guys make these tutorials. Really people!

  • @digalan12 Why do you crack an egg if you are going to cook it anyway? Why do you cut an orange in half if you're going to juice it anyway?

    Wow!! I am getting a kick out of reading inane comments...

  • why do I have to make it sit in my ref for 2 weeks?

  • @jemoe First of all, the sauce is a bit thicker than it should be just out of the blender. It needs to settle. And most important, in that 2 weeks the heat increases. A lot. It is just not the same earlier.

  • oh and how much water did you put in the pot to boil?

  • @ItalianTank750

    No water, that is all vinegar.

    The texture is thick when it comes out of the blender. After it sits a couple of weeks the air in it settles. Then it is still thick so you can balance it by adding vinegar. I usually add a little. I use old Worcestershire Sauce or Soy Sauce jars. It drips out with a shake. Nowhere near as thick as ketchup, which is also fun to make.

  • @emmfc ........ What is the texture of the hot sauce?

    acid-like?

    smooth?

    creamy?

    ect......

  • nice video but i didn't like that you got the ones that dropped onto the table and put them in the blender. i would have thrown them away 

  • love the robe.

  • @sjcalgary LOL!!!

  • @sjcalgary I keep things as clean as an operating room...

  • Very cool. I love making Hot Sauce with fresh peppers. You can use Vitamin C to help preserve it too.

  • @TheHotsaucers Do you add it powdered? How much?

  • @emmfc Yeah powdered will work. Orange zest also if the flavors work with it

  • @TheHotsaucers wow ur not very smart huh? so what's the use of adding vitamin C if the base of the sauce is VINEGAR.. hmmm

  • the red jalapenos are older and are whats smoked to make chipotles.

  • @johndawson420 Thanks!! I appreciate your help.

  • Can you use this hot sauce to make buffalo sauce?

  • @jleakakos Yes, but the sauce will not have the same flavor as it would if you use a sauce like Frank's or Tobasco. They use a different pepper and are aged more, especially the tobasco...

  • Thanks for taking the time to show that, I'll give it ago.

  • Amazing... great work.

  • Thank you soo0 much fir 12$ i just made 3 beer bottles full..i added some elephant garlic and cracked fresh peppercorn to the mix while boiling..i was paying 6$ per small ass bottle of big papi sauce..now i pretty much made the same exact thing for fraction of the price)P so ty for the video and keep on rokkin da hottnezz!!

  • Oh yes! I am going start now.

    I have a Little Chilly farm in my Yard!

    Thank you for this!

  • @Simonefunkydrummer

    This recipe sucks. Try mine.

  • If I can't find jalapeno, could I use any chili as substitute?

  • It should work with any hot fresh pepper. Why not try it and let us all know?

  • @rinpowestar

    Yeah, if you want to die. Idiot.

  • Good job on making HOt Sauce...check out my YouTube Hot Sauce..it's Delicious!!

  • I will check it out tomorrow (a bit late now)!

    Looking forward to it. This is a mild hot sauce - gets hotter after a few months, though. Hope yours is extra hot!

  • I like ninjas at the store the man took a bottle of hot sauce and i drank the hot sauce and i said sir this hot sauce is very hot and he smiled at me and put his hand on my knee and said here have some milk and i smiled back at him and drank the milk and then i went home and played some n64 james bond game.

  • cool

  • Ahh! Very nice video! I would imagine you could apply this recipe to any type of pepper. Also yes, you were right about the red jalapenos. They were just older. I had some in my garden I didnt pick. and they turned a bright red. (The got a little tougher with their old age)

  • Thanks for your kind words. How envious I am that you have a garden! It is nice that it feeds you.

    Blessings,

    Rev. Eliot

  • @emmfc My garden isnt huge, but I do get to raise some onions, tomatoes, banana peppers, bell peppers, Jalapenos, cabbage and redskin potatoes. I enjoy raising my own foods. I also have some chickens that lay eggs for us daily. :) We just need more room. I am definately going to try this recipe of yours. :) Thanks again.

  • Wow! To a lifelong city dweller like me that sounds like a FARM! Everything in life is sure relative.

  • when i make hot sauce (which i will) it will be a mixture of pepporcinis, jalepenos, seranos, cayannes, red habenaros, bhut jokolia, and some store bought spices and hot sauce...... it will be called "Death in a bottle" and the logo will be the grim reaper with his lower half in a bottle.

  • Great! I am drooling already!

  • thanks man

  • This video is very, very exciting

  • I think his next video is how to make meth Lol

  • I was just wondering what to do next...

  • How does it taste on the same day? Without sitting for two weeks?

  • It still tastes good, but it gets hotter on those two weeks. I usually can't wait...

  • I'm going to try this with habaneros today. Thanks.

  • It works best if you add the habaneros to this recipe rather than substitute. I have a whole different recipe for habaneros over on cheapassfood(DOT)com.

    Use rubber gloves!

  • Oh... Well, you caught me in time. I just want a thin hot sauce with all that nice habanero flavor. Anyway, I'll check out the site. Thanks again!

  • Update: I made, tasted, and loved the sauce.

    I did not use habaneros after all (due to spoilage). Next time!

  • Keep me posted... This is way better than buying some sauce. Makes great gifts too.

  • how long will this keep 4???

    cheers nice vid btw!

  • I always use it up within a few weeks, but it gets hotter the longer it sits. I have had similar recipes that kept well for seven months. It doesn't make an awful lot so if you use it fairly regularly it will be fine. I should test it though and get back to you. I will save somme from the next batch and keep an eye on it.

    Glad you enjoyed this!

  • cheers for the fast response

  • You overdressed, dude.

  • Just woke up and went to it...

  • lets say i wanted to do this with habaneros and jalapeneos what would the amount of salt and vinegar be then??

  • You can use whatever tastes good to you. I would suggest not handling the habaneros without rubber gloves. Then toss the gloves out afterward. Also, you will not need to cook the habaneros with the jalapenos. Just add them before the mix goes into the blender. You can find my really hot belize style habanero recipe at cheapassfood(DOT)kom

  • Let me know how it turns out, okay? Thanks for watching!

  • This was an amazing and very easy recipe. I do not think I am going to ever buy hot sauce agian. Definetly 5/5. I threw in a lil cumin and chili powder.

    Next batch im gonna throw in a few habanero's and try adding garlic, cumin, and red cayanne pepper.

    Thanks for sharing this, awesome post!!!

  • Glad you like it. Habs work well. Remember to wear rubber gloves when dealing with them... I learned that the hard way. I omit the details because it always makes men cringe...

  • BTW: Since I learned how to do this I have not bought hot sauce either/

  • Excellent as I just made this. My variation includes adding 2 cloves of roasted garlic.

  • Too cool! I have to try that!

  • Another great idea is to use pure sea salt-has bolder flavor than regular iodized salt!

  • Thanks this is a lot more simple than other videos

  • i have my own super hot sauce recipe that i almost killed my friend with! but this looks hot too so 5/5

  • dont know the name. Also, alot of garlic is needed, I use alot in mine. I also use half fresh, half dried sometimes, which gives a different flavor. The green peppers from my plants, if you pick them early, are way hotter than Jalapenos, and make a good green sauce that is better than Tobaso green, that stuff tastes like pure salt! YUCCH!

  • I have been making my own for years, and his sauce is ok, because I already know what it tastes like without making it. But, you need Xanthan gum, or vegetable gum as a binder, or else you will end up with sludge at the end of the bottles. Plus, boiling peppers, especially Jalapenos, takes much of the heat away. I use half habs, and half the chilis I grow. They are capiscum annums, but we

  • Thanks for dropping by. This sauce is really a "starter" recipe for the beginner. My hab sauce is more complex, does not boil the peppers and is MURDER!!! after it sits unopened in fridge for a few months. And yes, this simple recipe/method is better than Tabasco Green. Even here I cut down the salt.

  • I made some yesterday...with the help of thgis video...thanks.... and I added sugar in mines

  • Glad you liked it. Sugar is fine in here. Now try more variations... like garlic... mmmmm and let me know.

  • how long will this keep for???

    do we relly need the salt???

    thx vids good;)

  • I suppose the salt can come out. I use less than the original recipe anyway. It keeps very well refrigerated, which it should be. It does taste better after sitting for a bit.

    Thanks for the kind words,

  • Looks good.(seriously i love HOTSAUCE)

  • Love the robe!

  • lol! I had just woken up and decided to test out the camera and editing software. Maybe I'll call the Food Network about "The Housebound Chef"!

  • That sauce is crap.  Anyone with a palate should avoid it.

  • You will find the exact ingredients (with another type of pepper) in the world famous Tabasco.  In matters of taste, there is no right or wrong...

  • Yes... the chilies are fermented...not boiled. The end product is not even close to the same.

    What you have there...is thin, salty, sour and boring...no depth.

    But you're right, it's a matter of taste. Some of us have it...others do not.

  • The eye of the beholder, baby...

    Thanks for the input.

  • Appreciate the video help man. I just made my first buffalo wings from scratch last night and it was so good that I wanted to learn to make the hot sauce as well. Will definitely give this a shot thanks again :)

  • are you making this for breack fast? or do you just hang out in your bath robe all the time?

  • It was a spur of the moment thing I did, this video. After all, I did have to wear something. I am sure you can imagine the dangers of cooking without wearing anything at all...

  • ha ha ha !! keep it up !

    or should I say on!! ha ha

  • At some point, I'll post a video of people eating my hot sauce (the top two ingredients of which are naga jolokia chiles and 100% pharmaceutical grade capsaicin). It probably has a flavor, but you wouldn't be able to tell after you've cauterized your taste buds.

  • I've only ever made one Hot sauce and i used a combination of Scotch Bonnets and Birds Eye. I used way too many ingredients i think but i ended up with a pretty good and interesting sauce, i used a lot of lime juice and cider vinegar and i've kept bottles in the fridge and they never went off, i've got one left and its been in there since the end of summer.

  • Sounds like a great sauce! What other ingredients did you use?

  • It's a long list lol. 175g Onion 150g Red Peppers 150g Carrot 175g Mango 200ml Lime Juice 250ml Cider Vinegar 250ml Water Grated Ginger Zest 2 Limes 50g Scotch Bonnet Chilies 25g Birds Eye Chilies 3 tbs Oil 3 tbs Honey 1 tsp Cocoa Powder
  • That's amazing! Did you simmer the peppers in the liquids or just add them to the cooled ingredients then puree?

  • I fried the onion, red pepper, and carrot (all of which were very finely diced) in oil for a few mins over a medium heat, then added the garlic, ginger and chilies, fried for a few minutes more then added the liquids and boiled it all down then blended it.

    It's weird but the sauce got better with age lol.

  • Awesome recipe. I used habaneros instead and a little more and whooooo it was downright volcanic. thanks!!

  • I have added scotch bonnet to this recipe but never used them only. You must have made the hottest ever!

  • thanks for the video! I am putting together a kit for my boyfriend for christmas 2007 and I thought this was extremely helpful. Also, that's adorable that you did everything in your robe! HAHA! Best wishes- E.

  • Not just the robe... listening to the sound of my voice I believe I had a few bloody marys to boot! Thanks for the kind words.

  • Cool...I wonder if it needs to stay refrigerated past the 2 week soak in...It would be nice to give a bottle or two away at the holidays, but it would be tough if it needs to be refrigerated constantly.

  • It might be able to handle some time off ice since it is so vinegary. I have some pineapple chutney I made several years ago and that has never been on ice, so maybe it can be done.  Any food scientists out there?

  • if you bottle this, how long will it keep in the fridge for?

  • Good question! I use this delicious sauce so often that I have never had a bottle either go bad or lose flavor. The place where I found the original recipe says, "The sauce keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator. " Maybe I'll let some sit in the back of the fridge for a year and report back. But I have had it sit for a couple of months between batches.

  • I don´t know why you let it sit in the fridge for two weeks - I never found this to be necessary. Red jalapeños make a great sauce as well. If you don´t want the sauce as ¨hot¨, just remove the seeds. Other ingredients that add good flavor are garlic (add it at the beginning before heating everything up) and liquid smoke, which gives it a chipotle flavor. Dried fruit is good to add as well, and gives it a bit of a Caribbean feel.

  • I did experiment with the waiting time. When I tried the sauce without letting it sit it had an overpoweringly vinegar taste. This evened out after a week and got better a few days later, so a full 2 weeks may not be needed. It is really a matter of taste. I agree about the garlic. It makes a wonderful flavor in there. I'll try the dried fruit. Any suggestions for what kind of fruit?

  • My friend uses raisins and it comes out well, but I used dried pears and it came out great! It probably depends upon what style you are looking for - I can also see how dried pineapple might be good for a more tropical style sauce. Saludos, BZ.

  • Thanks! Have you seen the recipes at pepperfool(dot)com?

  • haha that was so funny when he said the open window was the most important ingredient due to the risk of it smelling a like a WW1 bunker getting hit with mustard gas.

  • We have some jalepenos growing in the garden, so I can't wait to try this!
