I’ll admit that I didn’t make this for myself. I’m not a big spicy food person! I did make this homemade sriracha sauce as a birthday gift for a friend who is totally obsessed with the store-bought version. She gave me rave reviews – so much fresher!
Sriracha
Ingredients:
- 1 lb coarsely chopped red fresno chiles
- 8 cloves garlic
- 2 tsps kosher salt
- 2 cups distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup palm sugar
Instructions:
The night before: place chiles, garlic, salt & white vinegar in a jar to mellow the pepper’s heat.
1. In a small saucepan over high heat, bring mixture and sugar to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let cool.
2. Once mixture is at room temperature, blend in blender for 5 minutes, or until smooth and a red-orange color. Run it through a strainer. Make sure as much “juice” is out of the mixture as possible.
3. Refrigerate before using. Makes about 3 cups.

Thank you :)
Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Thank you
I'd not heard of this sauce before, I'm going to try making it but I'll use something instead of palm sugar (producing it is very damaging), I'll might try it with honey, which is my favourite sweetner.
love this sauce
sounds good accept for the palm sugar. it upsets me to see this new fad that's destroying the rainforest--educate yourselves please.
great
Substitutes for the red fresnos include red jalapeños, 1/3 less Thai dragon peppers, using a red bell for color and serranos for heat.
Basically, if you already use and like the hot chilie, use it!
I've made close versions from canned chipotle.
