oh my god i love blending [Music] what's going on in there [Music] hey what's going on everybody for first week feast i'm shawn evans coming at you from queen majesty hq in scenic long island city new york where i'm joined by erica deal she's the mastermind behind a pair of hot ones classics including one of my favorite sauces of all time the scotch bonnet and ginger sauce we're here to get the hot sauce making commandments from the queen herself we're gonna be doing two sauces today we have a grilled pineapple and jalapeno sauce and then the more advanced viewers out there you know who you are we're gonna do a sicilian scorpion pepper sauce but before we get it going how did you get into the hot sauce game making it for myself i eat hot sauce on uh every single thing that i eat so i couldn't find things that were hot enough i couldn't find things that were you know without sugar or like dyes or weird ingredients and so i just started playing around a lot you know i think a lot of people think that a hot sauce is maybe hard to make at home and i think that we'll dispel a lot of that today that's right but can you talk to me about some of the mistakes that people make if they're trying to make their own hot sauce i would say some of the hurdles that i've run into yeah putting too much vinegar in i'm not a big fan of watery sauces i like sauces with a little body in there maybe like too salty i would you know you don't need as much salt as you might think you need you know what we've got our ingredients out i think it's about time that we make some sauces let's get to chopping and mixing [Music] and first things first we're making a grilled pineapple and jalapeno sauce can you break down the ingredients for us erica how are we starting so we got fresh pineapple jalapenos garlic lemon juice salt pepper vinegar olive oil it's pretty simple sauce to make and it's designed to be served fresh make a dinner eat the whole thing let's start with the pineapple for the first ingredient what's the advantage of using pineapple um it adds a nice acid punch as well as some sweetness you don't need a lot to have the desired effect next step is putting them on the grill why grill the pineapples that bring out the sweetness why are we grilling so we're grilling yes to bring out the sweetness tenderizes it it gives it a little caramelization and it has that extra grill flavor like a little depth to it i would also um grill them on both sides just make sure that both sides are get that nice color to it so we'll keep an eye on our pineapple and then we'll move on to our next step which is which is um jalapenos let's do some jalapenos then we're using jalapeno in this sauce which is on you know the lower end of the spectrum if we're talking the scoville scale what's special about the jalapeno i love it because you can use a lot of them it's not going to add too much heat it's kind of a heat that everyone can enjoy and it's also very versatile so if you're just getting into making your own hot sauce at home it's a good place to start [Music] we are prepped in terms of our ingredients it is chemistry time we just have to toss it in the blender i generally tend to start with the liquid so it's two cups white vinegar how important is vinegar to the recipe that's what's preserving your hot sauce so it's very important and the type of vinegar you choose is also very important because it affects the flavor two cups into the blender yep perfect bam so we need two tablespoons of lemon juice one perfect two up next is salt and black pepper throwing some onions in yep jalapenos going in yep two cups of grilled pineapple yeah into the blender very important garlic six of them [Music] all right we're on and then we'll just start picking it up yep it's oddly satisfying dude good that's awesome god i love blending wow i actually see the sort of like queen majesty trademark in that and you could just use it like that right away here we go testing our grilled pineapple and jalapeno sauce you roll up to the potluck with some homemade hot sauce and you just look like you know what you're doing but we're not stopping there we are going to keep the train rolling in our next sauce it's a little bit more ambitious yes it's a lot hotter yes it is a sicilian scorpion sauce so let's clear slate and give it a go so as a maker what's the difference when you're working with a mild pepper like a jalapeno versus a super hot like this thing right here the scorpion pepper danger basically you have to be a lot more protected uh wear gloves we should have like hazmat suits or something yeah right right right and then we're calling this the sicilian scorpion sauce what's our italian twist what are the ingredients that we have here today first up we need three cups of apple cider vinegar i'm on it this youtube thing doesn't work out is there a spot in the kitchen here yes please here we go i'll help you out we need two tablespoons of sweet vermouth then two tablespoons of olive oil [Music] two tablespoons of italian parsley one tablespoon of salt one tablespoon of pepper one cup of sun-dried tomato which is this whole guy right

Anyone know what type of vinegar they use for the first one? It looks like a clear vinegar but they don't say what type it is.

This is great, I usually cook all the ingredients before blending and bottling. Going to try blending it first before cooking.
