Kickin Hot Sauce

I am the type of person that lives a little on the wild side. That is why my homemade hot sauce will kick everything up from eggs early in the morning to burritos and burgers. You can use a variety of peppers with this from red and green jalapenos, criolla sellas, to habeneros if you truly like it hot.

Ingredients:

3 cups jalapenos (or other hot chiles)
1 cup salt
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup cider vinegar
2 bay leaves
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup sugar

Combine the chiles and the salt in an airtight container and set aside at room temperature for 4 days. rinse the salt off the chiles and drain. Heat the chiles, garlic, sugar, vinegars, and bay leaves over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and then down to a simmer for about 15 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and place in a blender to puree. Store tthe suace in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed steralized container.
Makes 1 1/2 cups
