Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this Dill Pickle Hot Sauce last, and how should I store it?

Your homemade Dill Pickle Hot Sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks if stored in a sterilized jar or bottle. Make sure to give it a good shake before each use, as some separation is perfectly normal. Think of it like a natural 'shake before use' kind of thing!

Can I make this Dill Pickle Hot Sauce less spicy? I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to heat!

Absolutely! For a milder sauce, be sure to remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano peppers before adding them. You could even start with just one or two peppers and taste as you go, adding more gradually.

Remember, you can always add more spice, but you can't take it away (unless you start again nobody wants that!).

What can I use if I don't have serrano peppers? Any good substitutes?

No worries, there are a few options. Jalapeño peppers are a readily available, milder alternative. If you're feeling brave, habanero peppers will give you a serious kick but use them sparingly unless you're aiming to set the Thames on fire!

A pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce can also do the trick.

My Dill Pickle Hot Sauce is too sour! Can I fix it?

No dramas, this is an easy fix. Add a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey while simmering. This will help balance out the acidity from the pickles and vinegar. Start with a small amount and taste as you go, just like they do on The Great British Bake Off!

Can I use different types of pickles for this Dill Pickle Hot Sauce recipe?

While dill pickles are the star of the show, you can experiment with other types! Just be aware that different pickles will significantly alter the flavor profile. For example, using sweet pickles would result in a much sweeter hot sauce. Avoid overly sweet pickles to keep that deli flavour.

I don't have an immersion blender or a regular blender. Can I still make this hot sauce?

While blending is ideal for achieving a smooth texture, you can still make the hot sauce without one. Just chop the ingredients very finely before simmering and simmer for a little longer to soften everything. The final result will be chunkier, but it'll still taste amazing.

Think of it as a rustic, artisanal dill pickle relish with a kick!
