For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce after simmering. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and hot sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. For longer storage, the sauce can be canned using a pressure canner, following proper canning procedures.
