Waiting on my damn tomatoes
I’ve never used sugar. Interesting. I’ve also never tried to tame any heat either, I try to amplify it as much as I can with cumin, salt, garlic, etc. I’m a glutton for punishment I guess
Try agave sweetenerOne of my key ingredients in homemade salsa or hot sauce, is sugar. The sugar tempers the heat of the hot peppers. Makes a huge difference in the flavor as well.

What sugar does is hits you sweet taste bud. We taste bitter, salty, sour, sweet, umami (savory). Food that triggers all your taste sensations is what you want.The sugar doesn't make it any less hot. It makes it more palatable to your tastebuds. Old man that I worked with who also enjoyed cooking gave me that advice many years ago for my chili recipe. So it worked very well with my chili, so I decided to try it with my hot sauce and salsa recipes. Trust me, the sugar makes a world of difference. You can also use brown sugar as well or even honey. Both of those work very well too and do the same as the regular sugar.

I’ll give it a shot next time. Wifey and me really don’t care for excess sugar. How much we talking? 1/2cup?
