Have you ever imagined what it would be like to take the flavor of your favorite dill pickles and put it into a hot sauce? Well, I’m here to tell all you pickle lovers and pepper heads that it’s not only possible, it’s so quick and easy. And the results are amazing! You will love using this dill pickle hot sauce on everything from eggs to nachos to fish, tacos, roasted veggies, fries, chicken, burgers and more.
I can’t claim that dill pickle hot sauce was my original idea. Once upon a time, my yoga friend Becky got little bottles of dill pickle hot sauce as gifts for our whole yoga group. We were all kind of intrigued. This was something we never imagined, but Becky insisted that we try it out and told us it’s really wonderful. (I’m not sure if the link provided was the sauce she gave us, but you get the picture!)
What Prompted me to make Dill Pickle Hot Sauce?
When some of my homemade fermented pickles this year turned out tasty, but not quite great, I thought of Becky. And her crazy good dill pickle hot sauce. The cucumbers I’d used in my pickles were too big and seedy. And the skins on the cucumbers were too tough for a really good pickle. Every time I tasted them kept telling me they needed a transformation.
So I got out my Ninja blender and blended up my dill pickles (and some of the pickled garlic) with some hot peppers and pickle juice. Plus a little dried dill for extra dill pickle-y goodness. So suddenly it happened! I’d created a nice spicy hot sauce with a great dill pickle flavor. AND, since I’d fermented my pickles, my yummy dilly hot sauce includes all those great gut healthy probiotics as well.
I hope you try this dill pickle hot sauce. If not for yourself, think about making it for your pickle-loving and/ or hot-sauce-loving friends and family for the holidays. Who do you know that would love a bottle of dill pickle hot sauce in their stocking this year? If you’ve got a good blender and some pickles on hand, you’re almost there!
