Method

  • PrepPrepare the red peppers if you don't have them in the freezer.
  • Cook. Turn the heat on the grill down to medium. Peel the garlic cloves and wrap them in foil. Put them on the grill for about 15 minutes or until they are tender.
  • Prep again. Put the pepper and garlic in a blender and puree. You should get about 1 cup (236.6mL) of liquid. If you have more or less pepper juice, adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and liquefy. Taste and adjust the flavors to your preferences. Add more Tabasco if you want it hotter or more syrup if you want it sweeter. Bottle it in a clean jar and refrigerate. It will lose some of its freshness after a month or so.
  • Serve.  Use the sauce to spice up countless dishes.
