Make your own Chili Hotsauce – Quick and Easy

This is a super quick recipe, so first sanitize your bottles. Fully submerge glass bottles or jars in a pot of rapid boiling water for 15mins, that will do the trick.

Cut up or process onion and chilies (use gloves). Doesn’t matter how, we’ll blend the heck out of it anyway. Fry this mix with the garlic in some oil on high heat until fragrant. Add all other ingredients and cook for about 20 mins on a low heat. Blend until smooth, taste, add more seasoning if you like. Shabang, done!

Carefully fill your bottles or jars straight from the pot while hot with a sanitized funnel, screw caps on and turn them upside down so the caps sanitize. Once opened keep refrigerated, but while sealed you can keep this sauce in your pantry for months. But trust me, you and your friends will finish it waaaay before that!
