Hatch Chili and Watermelon Agave Hot Sauce
In our house, hot sauce isn’t just a condiment — it’s a little adventure in a jar. My husband has collected bottles from every corner of our travels, from raspberry-jalapeño blends to mango with Carolina Reapers. But one flavor always felt missing: watermelon. Its gentle sweetness seemed like the perfect partner for a bit of heat. So I rolled up my sleeves and started experimenting, this time with Hatch chilies that I found at my local Bashes — earthy, smoky, and full of character. The result is a sauce that balances the mellow sweetness of watermelon with the warm, sun-drenched spice of Hatch peppers. It’s bright and unexpected, yet cozy enough to feel right at home on our table. This hot sauce shines drizzled over grilled meats like chicken, stirred into roasted vegetables, or even whisked into a vinaigrette for a salad with a little kick. It’s the kind of recipe that feels playful and comforting all at once — a true gem from our rescue produce boxes. Hatch Chili and Watermelon...
