    two hotsauces in one??

    ive always kinda went over kill and actually pressure can my sauce.  only when I open the jar do I transfer it into a sterilized bottle for the table.    its really not much hassle as I already pressure can other low acid foods.  usually just mix the sauce jars in when I'm doing a batch of...

    two hotsauces in one??

    i am new to this.   could i make a fermented hot sauce, strain the liquid and bottle for one batch,  then use the solids to make a second batch of vinegar based hot sauce?  or would the solids not retain much flavor?  maybe more peppers would need to be added?

    chinense Trinidad scorpion mixed with orange habanero

    look inot animal breeding as well as plant breeding.  you will start to notice universal standards when it comes to true breeding lines.   plants have an advantage because you can keep choice parents alive indefenately.  you cant just chop a horses leg off and grow a geneticly identical horse...

    chinense Trinidad scorpion mixed with orange habanero

        that is the point i would suspect genetic depression might occure.  not sure if that is the proper term.   new genetics need to be intoduced from time to time.  this is where back crosses, or outcrosses to geneticly simmilar but not direct decendands are valuble to maintain a true growing...

    chinense Trinidad scorpion mixed with orange habanero

    dont call it anything other than F1.  unless you plan to work it and make it stable.  then you can give it a name.  really if it is a cross pollination accident you don't know what the parents are.  so you don't know what you got.    if it is a scorpion cross, I would grow out the seeds and let...

    chinense Trinidad scorpion mixed with orange habanero

      this.   if you are absolutely sure it wasn't a mix up.  then grow out the seeds next year and see all kinds of variations.  then keep the seeds from the best of the best.    keep doing that and maybe just maybe you will have a new variety on your hands.  in a few years that is.   if the fruits...
