Slice open and rinse chiles under cold water, removing black skin. Gloves would be a good choice here. Remember the heat is in the membrane near the top. If you remove all the membrane, you remove the heat. Add red powder and mix all chiles in food processor until finely minced.

Don't Let This Happen To You!
How To Make Hot Sauce and not get hurt. Well, I tried. Yeah, that's me-Chuck Machado with hot chile spattered all over me and the kitchen. Toss one shirt- a victim of the hot stuff! Want to make hot sauce? You already know how much I love chile.
Creating my own recipe in my own kitchen is pure bliss, but I somehow forgot that when hot chile goes into the blender is expands. Make sure you pulse very carefully. Short bursts at first and you might even want to wear goggles!
The Ghost Chile
We've gotten alot of inquiries about the Bhut Jolokia chile also known as the "Ghost Chile" from Bangladesh in northeastern India. Would you like to learn how to make hot sauce using this chile?New Mexico's own, Dr. Paul Bosland discovered this chile, officially the world's hottest at slightly over one million scoville units. Compare it to a jalapeno at barely ten thousand units. It's reported that natives from that country are experimenting with the world's hottest chile to prevent elephant stampedes. If you can get the seeds, you have to find a way to make them sprout. The word is that this is a very difficult chile to grow. Sounds like we need to give it a try. More later.
Too Many Chiles
You're lucky if you have a huge chile pepper crop in your garden. But what do you do when there are too many-when the neighbors have had enough?The solution is to dry them and make powder. This is better than a learning how to make a hot sauce recipe because ground powder will keep in the refrigerator for a long time. First, pick the chiles and toss them on a baking sheet. You can add to it as need be, but these chiles will air dry right on the counter. Do not cook them or place them in the oven on pilot light. If you need counter space, tuck them on top of the refrigerator for awhile. Note-they have to have ventilation. No closed baggies.
Grind Them Up
When they're dry, get a bar blender and grind the chiles to a very fine consistency. Do this outside and be careful. Airborne chile is lethal and will cause you to sneeze, cry and may even run your family outdoors. I use a bar blender because the motor is geared to run a lightning speeds. I like my powder fine because often I have a mixture of all types of chile I'm trying out and I don't want a flake or chunk of something screaming hot. It may ruin my meal. I grind the seeds too, but not the stems. That's right, I eat dried powdered chile on everything.
There is No Bad Chile
I grow everything. Habaneros. Serranos. Thai. New Mexico. Ghost. You name it and I've either tried or have successfully grown these chiles in my home garden. The blend of all this gives me some very exotic flavors and many of my friends ask for samples as they also learn how to make hot sauce. Like with Coyote Trail products, I want my chile powder to compliment food. I don't want the junk you get in a pizza joint, but I also don't want the heat to the point where I can't enjoy my food. Notice the blend of black, brown and red chiles in the image above. Learning how to make hot sauce led me to blending complex powders. If you'd like a sample of my home blend email me. I don't sell it, but I'd be happy to send you a sampling.
Addicted To Chile
When I'm finished, I pour the powder into the large container and screw a lid on it. I stick this in the garage refrigerator and use the smaller shaker for the everyday use. I also keep this in the refrigerator because my grandfather kept his in the refrigerator. He told me it stayed fresher and long er that way. And he's right. I tried storing it in the pantry and it loses it's flavor quickly. When you're learning how to make hot sauce, a little powder can really enhance the flavors. I've never had a mold or moisture problem in the 15 or so years I've been doing this.
