Homemade hot sauce is cheap and easy, and the results are fresh tasting and mouthwatering. It's way better than store bought versions! This recipe can be adjusted if you have more or less peppers. If you have a scale keep around 2-3% of salt by weight, otherwise weigh your peppers when you buy them and adjust the salt based on the amount you have. Wear gloves when handling the hot peppers.
