I about finished doing my shopping in the supermarket today and heard them announce cut price fruit and vegies. I was the first one there and they had a big trolley full of stuff about to go off and it was $3 for as much as you could stuff into a plastic bag. Couldn't help myself and got 15 paprikas, 5 big capsicums (bell peppers), lemons, limes, some tomatoes, 3 fennel bulbs plus a bunch of other stuff. Time to make some sauce
Started with a few red onions and garlic
Deseeded and cut up all the paprikas, capsicums, fennel. Plus some carrots and celery.
Let all that sweat for a while then added a pineapple, mango, pawpaw some kiwi fruit.
Out of the freezer an innocent little bag of trinidad scorpions.
The juice of 3 limes and 2 lemons plus some vinegar and water.
After a taste I decided it need a bit more spice so added some bhut jolokias
Let it all simmer for a while then stab blended
Simmer some more..
Transferred it to the big blender and back for a simmer. Forgot to photograph that bit.
Then filled up every jar I had!
Got some more left over I've got to use up quick. Can for scale.
It tastes really really hot so that you don't get much of the other flavours except vinegar There is a very mellow fruity aftertaste though. Have to see how this one ages.
Was going to be a Bit of Everything Sauce but halfway through I started thinking how I could have added apples or mandarins or some herbs and spices so its going to have to just be another sauce.
