I love the ease of the recipe.
I love all of those sauces and loving the idea of making my own even more. Thank you for sharing!
Love Frank's Red Hot! Will have to try this.
Heck yeah! My garden has tons of cayenne peppers. Will definitely give this a shot.
Love your recipes. Thanks again for this one. I get lots of people asking me to make brushfire pickled eggs. Keep up the great work.
This video is just in time, I am working on my own Louisiana sauce. The only problem is that I cannot get cayenne's locally. Is that an issue in Texas or could you easily purchase them in Texas? I am making my batch from my family members garden.
Back here to support you, bro
Looks good, but I think I might trade out the white vinegar for apple cider vinegar.
Very well done! That was an excellent overview of a fundamental hotsauce. I'm tempted to try it out myself. Thank you for the great video!
This might be one I try outside first 🤣 Looks great and would be cute for Christmas gifts
This is a great recipe 🙂 Quick question: if you wanted to add a little cumin to a hot sauce would you fry it up in some oil first before adding it into the mix, or could you just chuck it in at the same time as the salt?
Great recipe! I had a couple extra red Jalapeños and red Anaheims and threw in a few chitepin peppers in mine. Thanks for posting and making it simple to follow
Hello, can you use frozen peppers? If so would you just skip the simmer part?
Thanks for watching!

im glad i found you i’ve got lots of peppers 🌶 to deal with i have got to try it
How many cayenne peppers are in a half pound if I do not have a scale?
I'm smoking a pig butt right now…. I would have never thought of smoking my peppers! Doing it now.
When I make my sauce it comes out tasting like a little too “bitter pepper” taste. Like overpowering pepper taste.
Could I toss in the blender before heating on the stove
Can this be done with dried peppers? If so, any idea what the weight of peppers should be?
WOW killer hot sauce 🥵 just made it and it is fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing 🙂👍👍👍🔥⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars… I highly recommend for everyone to make this…. It's a big hit 🎯👍👍👍🤗
