Making Shishito Pepper Hot Sauce

Making Shishito Pepper Hot Sauce

Our pepper plants are still producing peppers so I thought I'd try my hand at making shishito pepper hot sauce today. I'll use the shishito peppers, a shallot, some garlic, and vinegar. Basically I'll cook the ingredients and then whirl them up in the blender. Last I'll bottle them up. Seems like every cooking project I take on I need a special container or ingredient.

I thought I'd blister the shishito peppers first. The last batch of shishito peppers we picked were all very hot. No way to judge that unless you eat them first. Whoa is me; if I taste every one then I won't have enough to make the hot sauce. We shall see how this recipe turns out.
