This is a favorite recipe of my friends and family. I make this by the gallon but I have cut this down to a more manageable portion. Served with cubes of your favorite cheese and tortilla chips, it makes a great snack for game time or other gatherings.

How To Make jeanne's hot sauce

  • 1
    Remove stems from peppers, cut into two or three pieces and place into food processor.
  • 2
    Pulse 5 or 6 times to get a small chunky texture. Pour into a large container that has an air-tight lid.
  • 3
    Chop the onions into a fine dice and add to peppers.
  • 4
    Add the chopped garlic and chopped cilantro; stir to combine well.
  • 5
    Add the tomato products, garlic salt and lime juice. Stir to combine.
  • 6
    Place the lid on the container and put this salsa into the refrigerator for at least an hour for flavors to combine. Better if refrigerated overnight.
  • 7
    Since this is made of fresh ingredients, it must be refrigerated at all times.
  • 8
    If this is going to be sitting out for a while, place your serving bowl into a shallow dish of crushed ice to keep it chilled.
  • 9
    Serve with tortilla chips and cubes of your favorite cheese.
