I love hot sauce
Hi all,
S Hysmith -- I love hot sauce too, lots of it. I never thought to consider the sodium.
I'm always trying to figure out how to duplicate things in my kitchen, often (he said with great modesty) with great success.
Just grabbed a bottle of hot sauce. This one's a generic store-lable brand, but the ingredients don't change much: cayenne red peppers, vinegar, salt (and, depending on the brand, xanthan gum and garlic.) Of course what makes the best hot sauces are the way they are aged, I know.
Wonder if you could just toss some red peppers and vinegar into your blender, buzz it good, then strain it and put it in a bottle ? Did you ever try this ? (I have made oriental hot oil -- sneaking in some paprika for the fiery red color). You could even put one of those salt substitute things in the stuff.
Just wondering. (Oh, have heard of Carbo Witch, but from now on I'll be thinkin' "Thud Fairy." Nice work.)
