Ingrédients
8 8 Cayenne peppers
4 4 Gousses d'ail
120 ml 1/2 tasse White vinegar
120 ml 1/2 tasse Water

30 ml 2 cuillère à soupe Jus de citron
Equipement
Blender or food processor- Casserole moyenne
- Fine mesh strainer
- Fouet
- Jar or bottle
Directions
- Start by washing and drying the cayenne peppers. Slice off the stems and chop the peppers into small pieces. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cayenne peppers, minced garlic, vinegar, and water. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the blended pepper mixture and bring it to a simmer. Add the honey, sugar, and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow the sauce to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the lemon juice during the last 5 minutes of cooking to brighten the flavor.
- For a smoother texture, pour the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk this into the simmering sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight glass jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a hotter sauce, keep the seeds in the peppers or add an extra cayenne pepper. For a milder version, reduce the number of peppers or remove the seeds.
