Serrano Hot Sauce Recipe

December 4, 2020 By Patrick 9 Comments

Here's an easy recipe for a wicked batch of Serrano Hot Sauce! With a half pound of Serranos you'll get two bottles worth of delicious, fiery hot sauce.

This Serrano Hot Sauce is for those of you who need HEAT on standby in the fridge!    Not only do Serranos have more heat than Jalapenos, but I also added a Habanero to this batch and that really amped it up.    You can consider this recipe a good middle ground between the recent Jalapeno…

Comparing Ancho to Mulato after reconstituting

I’m back on the Mole Train this week and testing out some dried chile combos.  Ingredient lists for Moh-lay recipes can be intimidating, and these simple tests can give a good sense of a sauce’s foundation before doing any fine tuning.  I was thrilled to add Mulato chiles to these experiments, so keep an eye…

September 25, 2020 By Patrick 6 Comments
