Louisiana Hot Sauce

This easy homemade Louisiana hot sauce needs just three ingredients: fresh red chiles, white vinegar, and salt. Blend everything together, refrigerate for two weeks to develop the flavor, then heat, strain, and bottle for a bright, tangy hot sauce you can use on eggs, seafood, chicken, tacos, sandwiches, and more.
