I have a bunch of home grown birds eye chillies and would like a tobasco style hot sauce recipe to put them in, can you help me?

Question

home-made hot sauce is easy, and terrific.  cut the stems off the chilis and put into a blender with a small amount of salt, sugar, and white vinegar.  I like to add some reoasted red (or yellow) peppers depending on the color I want for added sweetness.  You can also add Garlic if you like.  Puree and then put into a pot to cook for 10-15 minutes.  Add enough vinegar to give it the consistency you want, and then add any sugar you might want to cut the heat (or not).  STore in a jar in the fridge for many weeks or a few months.

you could try a variation of the fresh sriracha recipe by edamame2003 using bird's eye chilies in place of the fresnos:   http://www.food52.com/recipes...
