Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound superhot chili peppers (reapers, scorpions, 7 pots - use your favorite varieties)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 12 large basil leaves
  • 1 cup vinegar (+ more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Heat an oven to 400 degrees. Set the superhot chili peppers and garlic on a baking sheet and bake them about 15-20 minutes, or until the skins slightly char. Keep an eye on these. You don't want them to burn, and watch out for any fumes. Alternatively, do this on your grill outside.
  • Add peppers to a food processor. Squeeze garlic out of their skins and into the food processor they go.
  • Add basil leaves and process.
  • While processing, add in vinegar until it is nicely pureed. Watch out for the fumes!
  • Add salt and stir. Push the sauce through a strainer or use a food mill to really strain it, if desired. Adjust with more vinegar or water to your desired consistency.
  • Pour into bottles and enjoy. Give to your friends! The longer you let it sit, the more the flavors will meld.
