Tabasco Sauce

Because the Tabasco chiles are aged in oak barrels for three years, this will be only a rough approximation of the famous McIlhenny product. This recipe calls for fresh Tabasco chiles, so you will have to grow your own or substitute dried ones that have been rehydrated. Other small, hot, fresh red chiles, such as piquins, can also be substituted for the Tabascos. Note that this recipe requires advance preparation.
