Ignite the Flame of Flavor: A Date-licious Hot Sauce Recipe🌶️

A little sweet, a little spicy; this homemade date hot sauce is sure to blow the top off the bottles of sugar-filled sauces in your pantry. Crafting your own date hot sauce is not only a flavorful endeavor but a sweet date night activity where you can have fun with different flavors and spice levels tailored to your taste buds! 

 

**Disclaimer: This recipe requires 3 days of refrigeration before it is ready to use. 

 

The ingredients are interchangeable depending on your love for heat, but these are some of our favorites (makes about 3 cups or 24 oz – perfect for 2 bottles)  

  • 1 ½ cups of Coachella’s Best Organic Medjool Dates (about 9-10)
  • 1 Habanero pepper - stemmed
  • 1 cup Fresno peppers stemmed and chopped
  • 2 Jalapeno peppers - stemmed
  • 1 cup of peeled garlic cloves
  • 1 cup of fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice 
  • 2 tablespoons of achiote paste 
  • 1 tablespoons of salt 
  • ¼ cup of white vinegar

Grab a pair of gloves before working with the peppers and avoid touching your face for the next steps: 

  1. Add all of the ingredients except the white vinegar into a food processor and puree. Add ½ a cup of water and puree again until smooth. 
  2. Put the mixture into a jar and cover with 2 layers of cheesecloth and refrigerate for 3 days, stirring daily. 
  3. After 3 days, pour the mixture back into the food processor and puree again. 
  4. Strain the mixture through a sieve, pushing down on the mixture to get all of the liquid out. 
  5. Toss the leftover solid mixture into the trash and mix the ¼ cup of white vinegar to the remaining liquid. 
  6. Distribute the sauce into bottles and store for up to a month. 

This recipe packs a punch, so if you prefer sweeter sauces take a few peppers out and add another date or two!
