Charlies Red Hot Sauce Recipes

HOMEMADE RED HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the peppers, garlic, onions, salt and oil in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft and almost all of the liquid has evaporated. (Note: this should be done in a very well-ventilated area!) Remove from the heat and allow to steep until mixture comes to room temperature. In a food processor, puree the mixture for 15 seconds, or until smooth. With the food processor running, add the vinegar through the feed tube in a steady stream.
• Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. (This will depend on the heat level of the peppers you use as well as the brand of vinegar used.) Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then transfer to a sterilized pint jar or bottle and secure with an airtight lid. Refrigerate. Let age at least 2 weeks before using. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

RED CHILE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pulse Fresno and habanero chiles, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and let sit at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours (this will both develop the chile flavor and soften the flesh, resulting in a smooth flavorful sauce when puréed).
• Purée chile mixture and vinegar in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
• Do Ahead
• Sauce can be made 2 months ahead. Cover and chill.

GARLICKY RED CHILI HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Wearing rubber or latex gloves, roughly chop the chilies. Combine all ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat. Once mixture is simmering, reduce heat to low, cover and continue to simmer until peppers are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Do not inhale vapors; they will sting.
• Transfer mixture to a blender and purée. Pour into a medium jar and allow to cool uncovered. Cover tightly and refrigerate for three days. Keep stored in refrigerator; sauce will last for several weeks or months.

HOT DOG CHARLIES SAUCE FOR HOT DOGS RECIPE - (3.7/5)

CHARLIE'S SWEET 'N SPICY BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a wire whisk.
• Marinate meat in the BBQ sauce for several hours in refrigerator.
• Grill as desired, using brush to add more sauce, as the sauce on the meat caramelizes.
• ***Do not store BBQ sauce in a stainless steel container. The acid in tomato sauce corrodes stainless steel, causing damage to metal finish and leaching metallic compounds into the food. I suggest a glass jar, but plastic will do.
