Recipe Summary Best Hot Sauce

If hot sauce is your thing, you will love, love, love this fresh tasty recipe. I first tried a version of this hot sauce in Cameroon, Africa. I couldn't get enough of it; no matter where you ate, there would be a small bowl of this divine sauce on the table, each unique to the person making it. Only recently have I actively searched out the recipe. I did not follow the recipe to a tee, but combined this recipe with another a close friend gave me. In the end, I can't argue the results!

Ingredients | Buc Ee's Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce Scoville Units

10 fresh hot chile peppers, stems removed

1 onion, coarsely chopped

¼ cup pitted fresh dates, or more to taste

¼ cup fresh basil leaves

¼ cup fresh parsley leaves

1 roma (plum) tomato, roughly chopped (Optional)

2 tablespoons beef bouillon powder

4 garlic cloves

½ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

salt to taste

1 squeeze lemon juice

Directions

Place peppers, onion, dates, basil, parsley, tomato, bouillon powder, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; pour in the oil. Pulse mixture until finely chopped, adding more oil if needed to thin; season with salt.

Pour pepper mixture into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Squeeze lemon juice into pepper mixture, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Allow pepper mixture to cool; pour into a glass jar with a lid. Store pepper sauce in the refrigerator.

I suggest you use the measurements in this recipe as a starting point, and adjust any of the ingredients to your taste. It really does all depend on how you like it. Don't feel tied to these measures; feel free to make it your own.

I usually leave tomato out altogether, adding a splash of lemon juice instead. I like the sauce to be more concentrated, but if you like a sauce with a little less heat, then you can add tomatoes to taste.

Sauce will keep longest in the refrigerator if fully covered in oil.
