Original - Our first recipe

With anywhere from six to twelve varieties of spicy peppers in the garden, it's no wonder that the bountiful harvest inspired many a new recipe idea. The first one that we thought was truly original was this one. After many hours of experimenting in the kitchen, we devised our Original Hot Sauce - it has plenty of heat and just the right amount of vinegar, onions and other spices. We finish by finely grating fresh ginger into the blend, and top it all with thin slices of ginger root as it goes into the jars. Ginger root is naturally quite fibrous and hard to chew,  but after a few weeks surrounded by the sauce, the vinegar has softened these tasty bits considerably. These little treats have also soaked up a lot of heat and in exchange have imparted even more ginger flavor to create a uniquely fresh spin on hot sauce. Spoon a little on any favorite food, or into soup or salsa.
