Who does not love growing peppers in the summertime? Recently, I have been trying to find more hot sauce recipes so that I can use more of my pepper harvest. Previously I have made a taste roasted garlic hot sauce that I love. Branching out, I came upon a hot sauce recipe from chili pepper madness that I wanted to try. Mixing cilantro into the mix, this recipe is definitely a lot spicier than my other hot sauce. I think because there are no fruits or vegetables to balance out the heat. With that said, try at your own risk!
