Mike - Yaaaah Hoooo Aaahhh HOT Sauce is my own table sauce that I make
for myself and a few friends locally. I can give you the recipe - it
is quite simple to make even if it isn't terribly hot for an
experienced chile head.
It is quite tasty on everything I have tried it on.
This is very close to a Sriracha (Rooster) sauce. Here's how I make
it...
Fill a container half full with peeled garlic cloves. Fill the rest of
the way with 2 (at least) habaneros and a mix of dried serrano and
cayenne pods that have been stemmed but not seeded. Add 1 tablespoon
of non-iodized salt and fill the container (to cover chile pods and
garlic) with 5% strength white vinegar. Cider vinegar or wine vinegar
will work but will give you a different flavour.
As the chile pods re-hydrate top up the liquid with water or vinegar.
After a few days to a week of steeping in the vinegar dump the whole
mess into the food processor or blender and puree until a smooth,
thick consistency is reached. If the mixture is too thick it may be
thinned with vinegar or water.
The resulting sauce is tangy, quite garlicky and very tasty. Mixed
50/50 with tomato sauce (American catsup) it makes a very nice seafood
coctail sauce. Or ir can serve as a salsa on tortilla chips. It's very
versatile.
I don't have a label made up so I can't send you one. But, feel free
to make and enjoy your own liter or two of Yaaaah Hoooo Aaahhh HOT
Sauce.
ENJOY!!!
