Pequin Chiles, De-Stemmed - 5 lb. Bulk

Sure, dried Pequin chiles are so hot that they can be used as fuel to shoot off model rockets, but they have flavor! It’s citrusy with hints of mesquite and smoke, and backing it all up is a very solid cooked red bell pepper flavor. It’s a wonderful thing for the tongue to behold before it’s incinerated into a carbon slab. So, what do you do with dried Pequin peppers? You make homemade hot sauce, of course. Take a good handful of chiles, a few cloves of garlic, ½ of water, 1 cup of cider vinegar, and a toasted and reconstituted guajillo chile and give it all a good whirl in your blender until liquefied. Pass through a fine mesh strainer in a large, wide baking dish (to get the air out of the sauce). Let the mixture sit for an hour and then bottle it up. It’ll keep in the fridge for 6 months. You’re welcome.
