Put a lid on that pot while simmering, capsaicin will literally boil off reducing the heat available before you do anything else. It will also cause the vapors to fumigate your house like you sprayed a bunch of pepper spray all throughout your A/C system.

My man, I just made 1 gallon with your recipe.. all of my jalapenos had turn red so it ended up being a beautiful color of hot sauce... Instead of adding sugar I added a small amount of local honey... It turned out amazing.. thank you so much..

I never tried boiling my peppers first... interesting! I do like grilling them slowly with some smoldering wood chips; amazing smoky flavour! I've been making hot sauces for years (especially with scotch bonnets) and a nice trick I was taught by my Trini family is to use a piece of parchment/wax paper to help isolate the sauce from your jar lids, plastic, rubber gaskets etc; all stuff that a strong sauce will have no problem eating through, destroying your container and its contents. Cheers, happy sauce making everyone!

Love peppers and love your channel and all that you do - a safety tip for you - whenever pureeing hot liquids and foods in a blender - ALWAYS cover the lid of the blender with a sturdy towel or cloth folded into a couple of layers held firmly with your hand BEFORE YOU turn on the blender - rapid heating and expansion of the air inside of the machine can cause the lid to burst off rather violently splattering dangerously hot liquid in all directions. Gently pulse the blender at first with quick on and off actions until the liquid normalizes and becomes stable and the air trapped in the blender can adjust to the temperature and pressure increase. Then puree to the desired consistency. A rain of molten hot liquids spraying in all directions is no joke. I learned this the hard way from working in professional kitchens for years.

Made a small batch and a few days later made a batch that filled a wine bottle.

As far as the cilantro, I used a 2.5 oz. package. I didn’t count the number of sprigs. I am about to go pick some green jalapenos and make more. I will try to can this in pint jars.

The sugar added a touch of sweetness, but I dont think its necessary. Or maybe next time, I'll use half the amount. It's a really good sauce, though.

I don't even use the onion and garlic, the only other thing I add is a little fresh lime juice. Really brightens it up, and we all know how well lime goes with jalapenos and cilantro. If I want it hotter, I'll add a habanero or Carolina Reaper if I can find it. I made a habanero hot sauce last night. 8 habaneros, three Red Fresnos, and two big jalapenos. Diced them up, cooked them down in a sauce pan with a little white vinegar, a couple pinches of salt, and a little water. Blitzed it in my blender until smooth. It's a little sweet, super hot, and really savory. Next time I might throw a chipotle in adobo in there for a little smoke and more sweetness.

Pretty much the same way I do it, with the exception of I leave the skin on the garlic. It will roast the garlic without the bitterness of burnt garlic. Obviously, you need to remove the skin when done, but it just pops right out with perfect roasted garlic Edit: if your sauce is too thin, just simmer on low and keep your eye on it. Keep in mind, it thickens a little as it cools.
