I'm not patient enough to make hot sauce. Granted, the ingredients are quite simple, but you have to create a mash and ferment it for anywhere from six to 36 months to get that special "bite". (Tabasco's own fermentation is in wooden barrels and takes the full 3 years .)

I've always wanted to try my own ideas for hot sauce, but the one time I tried to age something that long I lost all patience. (homemade Grand Marnier, supposed to be 12 months and I had it completely consumed by 10...)
