How Much Vinegar Do You Put In Hot Sauce?
The amount of vinegar you put in hot sauce largely depends on personal preference and the recipe you are using. Typically, a good rule of thumb is to use a 1:2 ratio of vinegar to peppers. So, for example, if you are using 1 cup of chopped hot peppers, add 1/2 cup of vinegar to start. From there, you can adjust the amount based on taste preferences. Some hot sauce recipes may call for more or less vinegar, so always refer to the recipe for specific instructions.
