Not everyone loves hot sauce, but those who do really love it. This makes the perfect homemade gift - something that takes a bit of time and effort, but nothing too complicated. There are brilliant options in delis and markets, but as with so many things, the best way to show your love is to make it yourself.
We love the character and body of this sauce - its spice level sits just below super fierce. Remove the seeds from the chillies if you prefer something milder. As with all great sauces, its applications are endless. Jake insists oven chips are the perfect starting point, though I'd happily drizzle it over fried eggs or a tray of roasted vegetables.
