Hi All --

My wife is after me to finish all of the chile-related products from last
year's garden as this year's stuff is starting to come in.  I had a huge bag of
dried tabasco chiles, and I used some to make the following sauce, which turned
out quite well, if I do say so myself.  It is quite hot.

Liquid Fire

50 grams dried tabasco chiles (see note below)
6 cloves smoked garlic
1/4 of a medium smoked white onion
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 t sugar
1 t smoked kosher salt

NOTE:  Rehydrate the chiles in hot water and drain.  Place chiles in blender
and add enough fresh water to lubricate the blades.  Puree chiles and then
strain the mixture -- you should have about 1 cup of thick chile puree (the 1
cup of puree is more important than the 50 gram measure given above).

To make the sauce:  Place 1 cup chile puree, peeled garlic, and rough chopped
onion in a saucepan.  Add vinegar and bring to a simmer.  Simmer for 10
minutes, season with salt and sugar, and puree.  Strain puree back into the
saucepan and bring back up to heat for a minute or two -- this rounds out the
sauce.  Pour into clean jar and allow to cool -- store in fridge.

Good luck.

Matt
