Recipe ingredients

Ingredients
  

  • 3 red savina peppers for their intense orange-red color
  • 2 death spiral peppers for extreme heat that sneaks up on you

  • 2 tbsp agave nectar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated

  2. Remove seeds from half the peppers for controlled heat.
  3. Blend all ingredients until perfectly smooth.
  4. Simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Allow to rest for 24 hours before using for maximum impact.

Notes

  • Store in glass bottles with tight-fitting lids in the refrigerator.
  • Best used within 3 weeks for peak flavor and heat.
  • The extreme heat of death spiral peppers means this sauce retains its kick even after storage.
  • Label clearly with “EXTREMELY HOT” warnings.
  • Keep away from children.
