Homemade Sriracha, WHAT?!

We are a Sriracha house. We loooove the rooster sauce. 
Pictured here: Cave Toddler attempting to drink straight from the bottle.

The ingredients aren't really too terrible (Chili, sugar, salt, garlic, distilled vinegar, potassium sorbatesodium bisulfite and xanthan gum) but we try to avoid additives and we get a shit ton of chilis through out the summer from our Terripin Farms CSA. What better way to use them up than making our favorite sauce?

Ingredients
1 lb chilis
1/8 c apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp raw honey
3/4 tsp salt
4 oz water

Slice and seed chilies then dry roast in a 375F degree oven 20-25 minutes.

Blend with apple cider vinegar, salt, water, and honey until it has a smooth appearance. Bring to a boil in a small sauce pan for 5 minutes continually stirring. Strain the mixture to remove any remaining peels and seeds.

Yields approximately 8 oz.

Lasts about 7-10 days. Use your nose to check.
