Hot Sauce anyone?

• Hot Sauce anyone? Xerxes Posted : 10/24/2006 8:50:54 PM Ok, we've discussed ice cream...How about equal time with hot sauce? Anybody besides me make their own hot sauce?  Or their own salsa?  Care to swap recipes?  I get fed up with paying $4 or $5 a bottle for average hot sauce, though I found a great source online ( www.hotsauceharrys.com ) so I started making my own this year.  And I've been making my own red salsa for about 8 years.  Anybody else?

• ColleenC Posted : 10/24/2006 9:19:47 PM I HATE hot sauce, and any hot foods.  They tend to make me sick.  I will eat chips with mild salsa on them, but only if it is not spicy at all.  Even then, I prefer the tortilla chips plain.  I wish I liked spicy foods though, because all of my friends always pick Mexican restaurants when we go out to eat.  I stick with tacos. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• houndlove Posted : 10/24/2006 9:44:29 PM I wouldn't mind some hot sauce and salsa recipes. I've got a bunch of hot peppers from our subscription farm just hanging out doing nothing, and we also just got a pint of tomatillos from them.   I like spicy food--as long as it's not so spicy that all you taste is buuuuuurning!!!  I love Thai and Indian food. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 10/24/2006 9:56:25 PM I love, love, love....hot and spicy food.  I'd love to be able to make my own salsa.  I buy the fresh type from the deli, but it's not that great and it's pretty pricey. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• loveukaykay Posted : 10/24/2006 10:02:02 PM Now your talkin my language!![]   Pffft!  Hot sauce is my middle name.  My family knows me as the queen of hot sauce.  If I cook, you will sweat!  I wont tho, I freggin love it.  When I make chicken noodle soup, or any soup, its red.  Salads, pizza, chips, french fries, all sandwichs, all fried foods, macaroni, red beans... uh.... .EVERYTHING pretty much gets hot sauce with me.  My favorite is Crystal sauce... I buy the huge thing and go through it in no time.  I love the green Tabasco and the Louisiana Hot Sauce too.  Those 3 go on everything together, a mix from heaven.  I also add Tony's and Slap Ya Mama which are both powdered spicys....   Buy the Crystal sauce I put in a little container and dip fries and stuff in, that ones the best. Ive always said if my mouth doesnt burn I didnt eat anything lol.[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xerxes Posted : 10/24/2006 10:11:20 PM I love the green tabasco and..well all the tabasco sauces.  The hot sauce I made tonight was a black bean/ chipotle hot sauce- not too spicy but great flavor.  I make it in gallon sized batches and they last about a month.  Cakana, making your own salsa is easy...it can take a bit of time though.  Summertime is best because that's when everyone is trying to give their tomatoes away.  And the cool thing is that you can make as small or as big of a batch as you want.  I think food is boring unless it's got some sort of spice to it.  When I get a few minutes I'll post an easy salsa recipe... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 10/24/2006 10:15:09 PM Yep, please pass on a recipe (or 2).  A friend gave me a bag of jalapeno peppers (green and red) and I have no idea what to do with them.  Sadly, tomatoes seem to be sky high again at the supermarket [:@].  Could I freeze the peppers for later? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xebby Posted : 10/24/2006 10:54:16 PM Come live with my family, we eat chili with everything!  Red or green? - the New Mexican Question.  My grandpa grows a huge garden every year with rows of chili, red hot, jalapenos and any pepper you can name.  We have a freezer filled with roasted green chili and ristras, dried red chili, hanging outside our doors.  We always have red chili sauce in the fridge.  If there is anything about in my culture that my family is proud about is how chili growing has been passed down from on generation to the next.  We save the seeds from one year and use them to grow the plants the next year.  Forget about Tabasco, we have the real stuff. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Shohin Posted : 10/24/2006 11:08:33 PM I've made habanero hot sauce . . . I absolutley love it.  For me, cayenne's are hot, jalapeno's are mild, but the habanero's are my FAVORITE.  I've got a nice crop of habanero hybrids right now on my kitchen shelf.  One pepper goes in a pot of chili that has made people choke its so hot . . . I on the other hand usually will go for seconds! I'd really love a hot sauce recipe . . . I lost my old one when the old hard drive crapped out. My favorite hot sauce by the way is the Melinda's XXX Special Reserve . . . . its absolutley friggin't hot, but it's got really good flavor too. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jeano Posted : 10/25/2006 2:19:26 AM Xebby, AMEN. Here I am, up in Alaska with NO GREEN CHILE. It's horrible. It's torture. There is no decent Mexican food, and of course no New Mexican food. I think I'm going to have to have my son send me chile on a regular basis. I brought home two quarts of frozen Bueno chile, one red, one green, from New Mexico last Spring and put them in the freezer. At this very moment I have nice October posole that I started cooking this morning. I have half a quart of green left, and will make green chile chicken enchiladas sometime this month. I don't really want HOT HOT HOT, what I want is FLAVOR. Still, what I consider flavorful, most Alaskans can't eat.
