List of Ingredients
Louisiana Tabasco Sauce
1 lb Tabasco chiles, chopped [or other hot pepper variety]
2 cups distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
Recipe
You can use chiles other than Tabasco for a different-tasting sauce.
Note: The recipe for true Tabasco brand hot sauce is
a long-guarded secret. In addition, the Tabasco folks make a hot pepper
"mash" and let this ferment long before the peppers are used in their secret
recipe. This process is what gives Tabasco brand pepper sauce its unique
flavor. This recipe does not attempt to replicate that sauce. Instead, this
is a standard Louisiana hot sauce recipe. If desired, you can add some garlic
powder and/or onion powder to flavor the sauce somewhat. Ground white
pepper added is also a nice touch.
Combine the chiles and the vinegar and heat. Stir in the salt and simmer
for 5 minutes. Place all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
Add more vinegar if the sauce needs thinning. Allow to steep for a couple
of weeks before using.
Note: Store in a dark place, or in light-resistant
bottles as the sauce will discolor otherwise.
