I set up shop outside today and cooked down two large batches of my 'taco sauce.'
First batch was mostly Fresno peppers, with HHWax, red savina, and just a few Naga and Reapers. Added one yellow onion, 5 tbs minced garlic, 1 bunch of cilantro, 5 tbs salt, and covered with vinegar. About 175 peppers total in the sauce. It filled 12 mason jars and was canned. Heat at about 7 of 10 (for the average person), more like 4 of 10 for most of us. I named it Taco Sauce #7.
Second batch was the same 'taco sauce' recipe - but the only peppers in it were Reapers and Naga, still to the tune of about 175! This one is off the charts in heat!! I tried a small bit before canning it and ended up sweating perfusely and had the worst stomach cramps ever for about 30 minutes. I named this one Taco Sauce #666. Still made a full batch of 12 mason jars with this one as well
All ingredients were chopped and put in a large stock pot and boiled for 15 min. Then blended. Next added to sanitized mason jars. All were then hot water bath canned for 18 min.
The lab ..
Taco sauce #7 stock pot
The mass load of reapers and nagas for taco sauce #666 before other goodies
Taco sauce #6 before the boil
A few stragglers getting canned
And the final product, the far 12 are #7, the near 12 are #666
