When heirloom peppers come in by the basketful, I start looking for every way to use them. This year I’ve roasted them, dried them, stuffed them, and still had more to go. That’s when I turned to hot sauce — simple, fresh, and full of flavor. With just peppers, honey, Redmond salt, and apple cider vinegar with the mother, you get a sauce that’s bold, clean, and free from anything artificial. Best of all, it will keep for months in your fridge, ready to splash onto everything from tacos to eggs.
