How do I make a hot sauce out of garden grown Cayenne peppers?

Here's a way:

Ingredients -

- 10 large fresh red cayenne chiles
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 3/4 cup white vinegar
- Salt

Cut stems off peppers and cut peppers in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and ribs. Heat broiler. Place peppers, cut side down, on rack in broiler pan. Broil for about 5 minutes or until the skin blisters and blackens. Transfer peppers to a plastic bag for about 10 minutes. When cool, peel off skins.

Place chile pulp and garlic in a blender or food processor. With machine running, slowly add the vinegar until the mixture is well blended. Add salt to taste.

Makes about 1 cup.
