When making your own hot sauce, the most important part is choosing peppers that have the right amount of spice for your palate. You can grow peppers in your garden or buy them at the farmers market.
-Add to tacos or nachos. -Splash a bit into your Bloody Mary. -Toss with chicken wings or roasted cauliflower. -Mix with ranch as a pizza dipping sauce. -Fold into scrambled eggs
If you want red sauce, use fully ripened jalapenos or serrano peppers as the base. Sauce made from green peppers will still taste delicious, but your family might wonder about the color.
