Notes
The amount of apple cider vinegar you will use is going to vary, depending on the size of your peppers. Use less vinegar for a thicker sauce, if that's your preference.Instead of sugar, you can use alternative sweeteners, like agave nectar, to get different flavor profiles.This recipe multiplies easily. Feel free to double, triple, quadruple, etc, depending on how much hot sauce your family eats.Your hot sauce will keep for 2 to 3 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
