Very Good! Like the fact that you don't use fresh onions. Has a nice heat to it. I think the chili pwd is a little over-powering, so next time I will probally reduce it to 1 TBS or less.

Really good sauce. I followed the directions exactly, except that I didn't puree the canned jalapenos. I bought the diced peppers, so I left them diced. I will definitely make this recipe again. Thanks DiB's for posting!

This sauce is great! The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly . The second time I made it I cut the water in half to make it thicker. It worked wonderfully, but concentrates the heat. So if you want thicker sauce without too much heat, cut back on the cayenne & jalapenos. Otherwise enjoy the spice!

Wow! This ones a keeper! I made the sauce and LOVED IT! As a personal preference I used less Cayenne and only 1 TBS of jalapenos to make it less hot. I experimented with it again a 2nd time and added garlic & cilantro just for fun and again it was fabulous!
