This Green Serrano Hot Sauce is an extremely versatile sauce and so easy to make. I wanted to give y’all a simple hot sauce recipe where you can take a generally easy to find pepper (sub Jalapenos if you can’t find Serranos) and without many ingredients, or specialty tools, make a killer hot sauce. This is that recipe!
Make sure and save the leftover mash of solids and seeds when you filter the hot sauce. You can simply toss it in a ziplock bag and keep it in the freezer. I have a follow up video coming out where I take that seeming waste, and make an excellent Chili Pepper Seasoning using a dehydrater or oven.
Ingredients List:
1 lb Green Serrano Peppers (Use Green Jalapenos if you prefer)
1-2 Super hot chili peppers, Ghost Pepper, Carolina Reaper, etc. (optional)
4 cloves garlic
Olive Oil
1/2 Tbsp salt (more to taste)
1/2 tsp minced ginger
1 cup White Vinegar (more to taste)
Supplies List:
Blender
Working oven
Baking pan
Knife
Sieve/fine mesh strainer
Large bowl
Silicone Spatula
Funnel
Skewer (optional)
Bottles for finished sauce
Latex Gloves or Tongs

Great videos, man. Subscribed.
This tasted awesome thank you. I added a poblano (needed a bit more weight) and some carrots to control the spice more instead of sugar. Phenomenal. Did the same recipe with jalapeños, 2 poblanos, no ginger, and a handful of sweet yellow cherry tomatoes instead of carrot.
Not sure why anyone would DV this, question what is the Garlic in, in the background there? I'm guessing its garlic in the mason jar.
Have you made the follow up video
Is the ginger nescessary
couple cherry tomatoes will cool it down a little too
made a batch 1/4 of the size of this recipe turned out great first time making a sauce
I'd like to try this but, I would consider adding apple cider vinegar and lime juice. What do you think about that? I need to get some of those little bottles you use. Looks very good.
Have fun doing those dishes
What size is the funnel?
Beautiful sauce. I love making hot sauce, customizing the flavors to whatever you want. Try roasting a couple chunks of pineapple with the peppers, gives it a nice flavor. Also, it sounds weird but throw some raspberries in with the sauce, it's a wicked wing sauce
Thx buddy!
I used to get an AWESOME green hot sauce fromKey West peppers that had cilantro n avocado added to something like wat uve created. It had AMAZING flavor n texture n just The perfect amount of heat🔥
Hey great video .I cant have vinegar what can I use? I cant eat the bottle sauces the only one so far I can ingest is La Victoria. The peppers unswell my throat but vinegar does just the opposite. Hope you can help me Thanks.
Great video. Sauce came out great and I adjusted with different ingredients such as lime and agave. Thanks!
is it fine not to include minced ginger and the white vinegar?
it turned out beautifully, thank you!
I can’t believe I’m learning how to make green salsa from a white guy, my mexican ancestors would be laughing I moved away from my moms late last year and she never got a chance to teach me.But besides that thank your for the recipe! It came out amazing! This was a good tutorial.
I strained and baked the pulp, then baked it, and ran it through a coffee grinder. It makes for some great chicken seasoning.
Mine came out waaay too thick compared to yours. Any tips on how to thin it out? Thanks in advance!
Does the sauce not seperate overtime? Why not use Xanthangum?
Those are not ghost peppers. GP are long red and have a bumpy skin. Those look like a red hab variety.
just made my first batch of hot sauce and it turned out so 🔥🔥🔥 I added some pineapple and a tad bit of sugar. Thanks for sharing this recipe, I'll definitely be making this again.
My peppers are starting to mature so I figured I'd try this out. Serranos, and a few Jalapenos. Habeneros are not ready yet so I decided to "sweeten" things up with a few Banana Peppers. Instead of the oven, I roasted mine on my [PitBoss] smoker set to 400 for about 25 minutes. Everything else was done as you posted. A nice mild heat with a bit of sweet. Will try it again after the Habs mature. Thanks for sharing!!
Thx, Great recipe! Any thoughts about substituting apple cider vinegar for regular vinegar?
I am really sorry for not having understood what is the temperature to roast the peppers in the oven ! Many thanks for the video ! Okay?
Nice sauce! Just fwiw: with the strained-out mass after filtering, this can be added to a sauce for chicken, beef, etc….delicious.
Takeaway:baked
I thought it was a good idea to try and caramelize Serrano peppers one night with the windows closed. The vapors. I basically pepper sprayed myself. I thought I was gonna die. I was thinking to myself like 'this is COVID? Not like this god'. I had to army crawl outside into the snow 😂😂😂😂
Those ghost look questionable
Can you make this sauce after you've let the peppers turn red?
Made today using 1/4 recipe and 1 habenero, very hot added a little sugar to bring heat down just a tad. Very good 👍
you can easily pull out the top of the peppers without having to cut them
Hi there. Thank you. Much. Can u do tomatoes sauce I new. Here
Nice
blue gloves arent made of latex anymore
Great video! How would you go about smoking the peppers. I think i might be interested in doing that. This is our first year of growing and we have sooo many.
