recipe: odin’s “Kick in The Asgard” hot sauce.

recipe: odin's "kick in the asgard" hot sauce.

i made several batches of odin’s “Kick in The Asgard” hot sauce using starter fuel from our organic valley garden based on a “green dragon sauce” recipe. i ended up with about a gallon of sauce and will give most of it away to fellow gardeners. not knowing how hot the peppers were, i was happy to find that none of the batches ended up being “melt your face off” hot.

it’s analogous to a tabasco sauce – simple to make and tasty!

in the interest of full disclosure, odin doesn’t actually like hot sauce but i like the punny nature of the name. maybe someday his taste buds will change 🙂
