Make Your Own Hot Pepper Sauces

[MagiePerdu]

These Recipes came from the Pepper Joes site (Bluebird posted a catalog offer in "Freebies.") I post them here so I can find them when I get around to making a new batch of sauce!

Hot pepper sauces are ALL over the internet. And there are some really tasty and innovative sauces. But, Pepper Joe's favorites are his own home-made sauces. You can control the freshness of ingredients,the heat level, and make sure it's wholesome, organic and chemical and preservative free. Listed are two easy-to-make recipes that I hope will become family favorites. Keep them refrigerated. They should last at least one year (although I'd bet they will go a lot quicker than that).
