And that's me.
I admit it.
I'm a Pepperhead.
Now, I'm not into the extreme heat like some folks enjoy, but I do like a lil' sweat on the brow.
So much so that I attempt to make my own hot sauce. Pull on your flame retardant suit and follow along.
First, I grow my own peppers:
Then I harvest them, wash them, and prepare them for sauce time:
The habs are the hot ones (hence the gloves):
And here's a beauty of a jalapeno:
The next step is to boil the peppers in a bath of vinegar and salt:

This is when you wish you had more windows in your kitchen:

It's quite caustic. And the next step may be even more so....the blender:

Looks dern delicious!
As far as hot tasty stuff is concerned, I discovered long ago that my intake can handle a lot more heat than my exhaust.....
I like heat, in fact, I like it when I break out on a sweat due to the heat, but your sauce looks a little to hot for me! Looks good, but maybe wicked hot.
