Cookin: Mario's Hot Sauce

[Guest guest]

Risa, This one made me think of you. Cucumber pureed in a hot sauce

is a new idea to me. Fortunately it calls for canned tomatoes so I

don't have to wait for summer to try this.

NOTES : Mario is a very picky eater. he won't eat a thing unless it

has hot sauce on it. He perfected the following recipe, and we both

swear by it.

 

Put a touch of sweetener in the blender with the cukes and pepper if

you like your sauce sweet.
