Store your homemade hot sauce in sterilized bottles, and keep it in the fridge to extend its freshness. Adding a bit of vinegar also helps preserve it longer.

Hi all! I think vinegar is a classic base for hot sauce – it gives that nice tangy kick! I've also used apple cider vinegar for a slightly sweeter flavor."
