Sinus-Aid Hot Sauce

Recipe #8806 | 25 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Mark H.
Apr 26, 2001

This hot sauce is a good remedy for a stuffy nose. It may not seem real hot at first, but it will sneak up on you. If you don't enjoy heat, this isn't for you. There are hotter sauces out there I'm sure, but this isn't for sissies. I eat it on many things, from meat to vegetables.

1 jar (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Boil peppers in water for about 10 minutes, or until jalapenos turn from deep emerald-like green to an olive green (They should be soft, but not mushy).
  2. 2
    Remove peppers from water and cut off stem caps, but do not remove seeds.
  3. 3
    Place peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and a teaspoon of salt into a food processor.
  4. 4
    Blend in the food processor for 20-30 seconds, depending upon desired consistency.
  5. 5
    Taste the sauce, and if necessary, add more salt (pulse-mix a few times to stir in any added salt).
  6. 6
    Pour into a re-sealable container or jar and enjoy with chips or use as a condiment.
  7. 7
    When sinuses begin to"clear up," and they will, use kleenex.
  8. 8
    NOTE: After using the food processor, it is sometimes best to open in a well ventilated area.
  9. 9
    The fumes from processing boiling hot peppers can take your breath away.

I just made this to give as gifts for Christmas this year and was really happy with how easy it was. The store was out of cubanelles, so that made the decision for me about those...though I'd like to try it with them, as the sauce ended up very fiery without too much flavor - though I am not saying that's a bad thing. I also make my own salsa, and when I ran out of jalepenos (I use the canned rings) I added some of this and it worked perfectly - adjusted the heat without messing with the flavor. Thanks for posting it!

    My husband always complains that he cannot find a really "hot" hot sauce that he enjoys, until now! I substituted the Habanero peppers with 1 scotch bonnet pepper and about 6 thai peppers.Wonderful taist that hits you first but the heat does quickly follow. Thanks.

    This is great! It has a balanced flavor of tomato and pepper (I used the cubanelle peppers) and is just hot enough to be tingly on the tongue but not deadly. I found that this batch makes 5 cups with the cubanelles, so you can plan accordingly if you wish to can. But I don't think one batch will last that long, make more! Thanks for posting, Mark!

    Wow! I have been looking for something like this. I really enjoyed it. I do have one question. How long will this stay fresh and viable in the frig? (Not that it hung around for long, we couldn't stop eating it.
