For a basic hot sauce start with:
1 - 16 ounce can of tomato sauce
1 - medium onion, chopped
2 - cloves of garlic, minced
6 - peppers, chopped
salt and pepper
You will want to choose your peppers based on desired heat and availability. Also, you may want to slice your peppers in half and take out the seeds. Some hot sauce recipes leave them in, it is up to you.
Start by sauteing the onion, peppers and garlic in a teaspoon of olive oil for three minutes in a sauce pan. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Place ingredients in blender and puree.
You can eat it now, but I prefer to simmer for another 15 minutes, just to let all the flavor combine. Salt and pepper to taste.
After your first batch, you can adjust the ingredients to fit your taste. I like more jalapeņo and garlic flavor, but that's me. You can try different types of peppers, and different quantities. There is no limit to the number of ingredients you can add to your hot sauce recipe. Some folks like to add some fresh cilantro or other herb, and some like to add fruit like mango to give it a different taste.

3 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp salt
4 Habaneros, seeded and stemmed
