If you want to kick a dish up a notch or two or three, put some of this
in it. I make it to keep in the fridge to add as the mood moves me. Dee
and I both like hot and spicy dishes so we use a lot of it.

Enjoy

Wayne?s Fire water

12 cayenne chilies, stems removed
2 garlic cloves
1/2 yellow onion
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer
over medium heat. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool
slightly. Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Pass
the hot sauce through a mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, if desired.

Shouldn't this recipe include a warning to wear a supplied air full face
respirator while doing the simmering? That simmering is going to be
equivalent to discharging a can of MACE in your kitchen.

Seems like a nice hot sauce recipe.

Are we talking fresh or dried cayenne? What variety of wine vinegar?

I do something similar without the onions, more garlic, using rice wine
vinegar. I really like it if I can come up with some fresh red ripe serrano
peppers. Another variation would be to add in a couple dried chipotles or
chipotle powder.

If making sauce from dried peppers, I like to toast them briefly in a
skillet until they get fragrant and soften up a bit (being careful not to
scorch them of course). It enriches the flavor of dried peppers and makes
them reconstitute better.
