Hotsauce

A sauce of chillies, vinegar, and salt, sometimes fermented and sometimes cooked with sugar or fruit. The heat and sweetness depend on the peppers in the bottle.

Origin

Made wherever chillies are eaten, in many local styles.

Flavour

Hot, sour, and salty.

How to use it

Add it by the drop or the spoon, at the table or in the pot.

Storage

Refrigerate after opening if the label says so. A vinegar-heavy sauce keeps for a long time.
