My son's first chilli sauce

Well he's been building up his sauce tasting skills for a while. lately he's been into the fruit/Hab sauces Inferno, carrot Karma, Cry Baby, Lizard Spit. He's sliced up a few asian birdseye over his meals too. He's 8 1/2 yrs old by the way.

Last week he asked if he could make his own sauce, I said Sure, what do you want in it.
Straight back he answered:

Asian birdseye
Siam
Green Siam
Habanero
red Onion
Roma Tomato
vinegar
Ginger
Garlic

:shocked: O.k, so who am I to argue. We did a lap of the yard today & picked the pods.
I helped him through the process, we weighed everything & he scribbled it into a school book with a pencil lol. pH tested at 3.8 right off the bat so we poured 3 bottles worth.
It's nice too.
Made 3 bottles.
I BBQ'd some sausages tonight so we could try it out & he's already thinking of ways to hone in the recipe :lol:

I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow morning for you.


Awesome...really. Once again I'm thankful I no longer have to change his nappies every few hours ;)
 
Well he's got the right person to teach him, you'll be moderating him on here in years to come. You're lucky your little lad likes onion, a lot of kids hate it.

You must be a proud daddy

everyone say AAAwwwww the cute little Habanero sauce :flamethrower:

:lol:
 
you can pretty much use anything. the fruit or veg is just a base, it can have flavour or not, but all your other ingredients need to fit into it. It's also the major build for the texture of your final product.
In 'pain' & 'pain2' I use pears...I think that's a first...currently eying off a rare ozzie winter fruit for a sauce base....news to come lol.
 
I suppose if Woody did it with runner beans then anything's possible, it certainly had a hint of runner beans and it tasted great, I was really surprised.
 
That is so cool! Not only did he want to make a hot sauce, he already knew what flavors he wanted in it.

That was a bit of a spinout when he just listed off ingredients. I have taught him how to read the labels on everything though so I should have expected it. But wow!

Yeah, because it'd be creepy and all if I turned up on your doorstep.
