Time P3DT35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound red jalapeno peppers, stems cut off
½ pound red serrano peppers, stems cut off
4 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
⅓ cup water
½ cup distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Chop jalapeno and serrano peppers, retaining seeds and membranes, and place into a blender with garlic, brown sugar, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, pulsing several times to start.
  • Transfer puree into a large glass container such as a large jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Scrape down the sides during each stirring. Rewrap after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until mixture is bubbly.
  • Pour fermented mixture back into blender with vinegar; blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan, pushing as much of the pulp as possible through the strainer into the sauce. Discard remaining pulp, seeds, and skin left in strainer.
  • Place saucepan on a burner and bring sauce to a boil, stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Skim foam if desired.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and let sauce cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken a little when cooled. Transfer sauce to jars or bottles and refrigerate.

Well, not exactly Rooster Sauce, but it is from The Sriracha Cookbook. If you want the real Rooster Sauce taste, don't bother going through the trouble. The real deal is manufactured in an industrial processing plant that probably can't be precisely replicated at home. Just go buy it. It's cheap, only about $2.99. Okay, so why make this? Because you can.

Time P7DT5m

Yield 2 about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 lbs red jalapeno chiles, stems removed and halved lengthwise (can sub red serranos)
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons garlic powder, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar, plus more as needed
water, as needed

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the peppers, garlic, garlic powder, granulated sugar, salt and brown sugar. Pulse until a coarse puree forms. Transfer to a glass jar, seal, and store at room temperature for 7 days, stirring daily.
  • After 1 week, pour the chile mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool, then puree in a food processor for 2 to 3 minutes, until a smooth, uniform paste forms. If the mixture is too thick to blend properly, adjust the consistency with a small amount of water.
  • Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Press on the solids with the back of a spoon to squeeze out every last bit of goodness. Adjust the seasoning and consistency of the final sauce, adding vinegar, water, salt, granulated sugar or garlic powder to suit your taste. Transfer to a glass jar, seal and store in refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Tips:

  • Wear gloves when handling the jalapeños to avoid skin irritation from the capsaicin.
  • Use a food processor or blender to finely chop the jalapeños and other ingredients.
  • Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the jalapeños have softened and the mixture has thickened.
  • Add vinegar and sugar to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the sriracha cool completely before storing it in a jar or bottle.
  • Store the sriracha in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
