DIRECTIONS

USING FRESH CAYENNE PEPPERS.
There are two different ways to prepare this sauce. You can use fresh cayenne peppers, or you can use cayenne peppers from your garden that you have canned.
If you're using fresh cayenne peppers, simply remove the ends and measure all of the ingredients into a small saucepan.
Heat over medium heat until boiling.
Reduce the heat slightly, but so the mixture continues to boil.
Simmer about 20-25 minutes.
Remove the mixture from heat, carefully pour it into a blender & puree until thick and smooth.
Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and simmer another 15 minutes.
