Great Hot Sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I added 1 dried habanero to the mix and didn't change anything else. It was awesome! Next time I am going to add more... habaneros and double the batch because it didn't last long in my house. I also didn't strain it.Read more

Just needs to be alittle hotter for me. Other than that it is a good starter,and I add more chiles for a more hotter sauce.
