Ingredients

  • 20 tabasco peppers
  • 1 12 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
  • 34 cup diced onion
  • 34 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 12 cups water
  • 1 14 cups distilled white vinegar

Method

  • Combine the peppers, garlic, onions, salt and oil in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat.
  • Saute for 3 minutes.
  • Add the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft and almost all of the liquid has evaporated.
  • (Note: this should be done in a very well-ventilated area!)
  • Remove from the heat and allow to steep until mixture comes to room temperature.
  • In a food processor, puree the mixture for 15 seconds, or until smooth.
  • With the food processor running, add the vinegar through the feed tube in a steady stream.
  • Taste and season with more salt, if necessary.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then transfer to a sterilized pint jar or bottle and secure with an airtight lid.
  • Refrigerate.
  • Let age at least 2 weeks before using.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
