Hello, chefs! 😋

Although I took the photos about a month ago (when I cooked this hot sauce), I, unfortunately, didn't manage to get the article ready.
There was too much going on with everything else and it had to wait a bit. Well, now (when I have used almost one-third of the sauce), I have managed to do it.

This picture above is my idea for the labels on the sauce bottles, but I still need to sprint and stick them on the bottles. Hopefully, there will be some sauce left when I have time to do it. :) 😁

So, I made this sauce with chilies from my field, I watched them grow, I even posted some stories with pictures in the ecoTrain community.
All the other vegetables I used in the sauce also came from my garden, everything except the lemons.

This is again one of my original recipes, I didn't follow any instructions, I just used what I had at home (or what I grew in the field) and to my taste, nothing exact.

For about 1 liter of sauce (10 bottles of 0.1 liter) I used:
chili types:

and then I added as in the photo

a cup of ordinary peppers
a cup of cherry tomatoes
a few pieces of ordinary tomatoes
four cloves of garlic
one small yellow onion
two shallots
two lemons
salt and pepper
one deciliter of olive oil
water if necessary

In short, I didn't weigh or measure anything, everything by eye.

As I don't like too much hot, I first cleaned all the seeds and cut the chilies and peppers into smaller pieces.

Then I chopped the onions, garlic, and tomatoes and simmered them all in a pot in a deciliter of olive oil to melt the tomatoes and soften the onions.

Next, I added the chopped chilies and peppers and simmered for about 1o minutes, with a good amount of salt and pepper, and added a liter of water to bring it all to the boil and cooked for about 20 minutes to simmer on low heat.

While the chilies were simmering in the pot, I prepared the 0.1-liter bottles into which I'll pour the chili sauce. They needed to be washed and sterilized in the oven at 100 degrees for about 10 minutes.

The chilies have been cooking for a while and are soft, the bottles are sterilizing in the oven and it's time to blend everything in the pot with the blender.

The hot sauce is almost ready. Of course, we are now also tasting what we have cooked. For me personally, if it's too hot or too salty, then I add more water to thin it out a little. Well, I didn't add it here because it was just right. It just needs to be strained to make it more liquid.

I have now poured all the liquid into the bottles.
I was expecting more hot chili sauce but there was enough for 10 bottles only, which is 1 liter. Once I had filled them I put them back in the oven to sterilize at 100 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes.
