I made a sauce last week, and tasted it for the first time last night.
Here's what I did:
First, two 12 oz bottles of Negra Modelo beer were reduced by 1/2
Added to that:
12 oz of red wine vinegar(4%)
5 jalapenos
7 yellow peppers (cascabella)
Whole head of garlic
Everything was cooked and blended several times before being hot filled into a swing-top bottle.
The color was a nasty brownish, but I didn't care. It's for my consumption, not selling, so the look isn't very important.
I tasted it last night for the first time. It was flat, and just not good.
Very edible, and the heat level was OK (low, but OK). But not good at all. It is fairly sweet due to the reduced beer, but has a one note acidic fruit flavor. Almost mango like, but doesn't at all taste like mango.
I forgot salt
When I fix that, what else should I add? Will a little carrot or sweet potatoe broaden the the taste?
