Bit of prep

  • Wash some jars in super hot water**
  • Put everything into a pot (no need to chop the peppers) with 2-3 cups of the vinegar.
  • Simmer for about 20-25 minutes
  • Put in food processor and blend thoroughly
  • Add 6-7 fresh basil leaves
  • Add more vinegar if wanted
  • Add juice from another 1/2 lemon
  • (Add more vinegar if you like a tangy or thinner sauce)

  • **Next year I will order some nice sauce jars ahead of time and use those
