Having homemade canned hot sauce on hand is so convenient and delicious. It is a super quick and easy recipe it only takes 15 minutes to cook in the canner.

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon of homemade hot sauce

  • 6-pint jars, lids, and rings

Directions

  • Clean and sanitize your mason jars, lids, and rings. Add the hot sauce to the jars leaving about a 1-inch headspace. Wipe the tops of the jars with a clean rag and add the lids and rings.
  • Fill the canner with 2 1/2 inches of water and add the jars into the canner making sure the vent is clean and oil the metal-to-metal rim of the canner. Let it steam for 10 minutes then add the weight to the correct poundage to your climate. Once it is up to the correct poundage set your timer for 15 minutes and keep it at the correct poundage. The weight should rattle about every 20 seconds.
  • Once it has cooked for 90 minutes, shut the burner off. When the poundage gets to 0 take your weight off and you can remove the lid. Set your jars on the counter for 24 hours to make sure they seal correctly and then you can store them.

Notes

  • Always make sure to read through your specific canner’s instructions.
