Hot Sauce

Not to brag or anything but I have had a lot of tomatoes this summer. Ok, I am bragging! I think I have found my calling....tomato gardner. I had to think of something to do with all my tomatoes so I decided to make hot sauce. This wonderful hot sauce recipe came from my super talented aunt Teresa. My sweet aunt Brenda gave it to me. Thank you aunts!
