HOT & Tasty Pepper Sauce
I make this with whatever red peppers I have ready - Cayenne-types, Kung Paos, red Jalapenos & Serranos, Fish, Marconis, etc. A mixture seems to balance the flavors better. Awesome with NC BBQ, grilled salmon, fried chicken, in potato salad... on a spoon... FTR, have NOT used Habaneros in this mix... yet...
