Hot Sauce lovers (and makers) gather round.

[Trailer Fire]

I love hot sauce. So much so it is sometimes disconcerting. Sriracha on my salad disconcerting. I have scoured the lands in search of "The Greatest Hot Sauce In Existance" and found that there really isn't one. Each sauce tends to be either extra flavourful, or ridiculously, face-meltingly, sun-lickingly hot. The closest I've come to both is substituting spaghetti sauce for Sriracha, but it still isn't quite what I want. So go ahead and post the sauces you use, and hopefully I won't have tried them yet.

And to you sauce makers, lend me your brains. I've been playing around with making hot sauces for a few months and I've concocted a few different recipes, and could use some help tweaking and perfecting them.

Any ideas? They mild is fine for what it is, but the Tail Burner is missing something for flavour. It's heat is fine.

Do you guys have any recipes that work real well for you? I'd love to try them out.

By the way, let's spitball some ideas for names of my sauces. I'm terrible at making up names.

You could try adding some palm sugar to the Tail Burner, or maybe sub out the white vinegar for red wine vinegar or cider vinegar.

Add the palm sugar on top of the agave? And I like the idea of the red wine vinegar. Thanks.

You can also cut heat with acid can't you? Maybe some lime juice?

I assume you've been to Some Like it Hot?

They have pretty much everything. If you want a psycho crazy sauce that still has some flavor try Maddog 357, the 357 stands for 357,000 scolville.

I made some homemade chili sauce one time. As we were making the sauce it was mentioned that maybe we should be writing down the recipe. I said not to worry about it, the odds of making it good the first time were pretty slim. It turned out amazing and I didn't write down anything.

I totally missed the agave in the second recipe. Either replace half the agave or completely I'd say, but not in addition to it.

That might be a good idea. Cut the heat to focus more on the flavour. What would add a bit more punch to the flavour though? I'm kinda drawing blanks.

I've never used palm sugar. Is there a big difference between that and agave nectar?

You can also cut the heat by adding plain yogurt

[To Be Quite Honest]

You can also cut the heat by adding pepto-bismol. It's also a preemptive strike!
