My First Puree

So I recently tried to make my first puree. Recipe is from AJ (Thank You very much). Peppers are from Judy (Thank You).

I used 463g of three different peppers (5 Aji Amarillos, 15 Brown Moruga,and 30 Carolina Reaper). 180ml of 5% distilled vinegar. 3tsp of sugar. And about a tsp of salt.



Here are the peppers I used. 5 Aji Amarillos, 15 Brown Morugas, 30 Carolina Reapers. Total weight equals 463g.



Here is before I cooked it down 25%.



Here it is cooked down about 25%.



And the finished product.This stuff has some nice kick too it. I love it. Goes great with everything.
 
Looks good james.

Come here and right click and hit paste.
 
Figured Id share as it took me a bit to figure out.
 
Wicked thick looking,with the reaper ratio I wouldnt be first in line to try it :)
The moruga aint helping matters none . . . .
Try rice vinegar for your next puree',its much,much milder in the flavor profile of vinegars
Pepper flavor runs right thru it basically.
 
Good Job!!
 
Thank you very much TNKS. I will remember the rice vinegar for next time. I made about 3 8oz jars and it will last a while. Everyone is scared of it and a little goes a very long way.

Congrats on your first puree.  I have two ferments working my first as well, err - a first and a second, actually.  Did it loose heat in the process, meaning with all of those Reapers, does it still have intense heat or is it toned down because of your method?

I have not eaten a large amount alone. I ate about a 1/4th of a teaspoon and it packs a great deal of heat. Not like eating a whole fresh pepper, but I imagine if I ate the same weight in puree as a fresh pepper it would pack around the same punch.

Looking great there James. Hope you saved some seeds from those peppers, second season is starting ;)
I have a good amount of seeds left over from Judy and Ed. Look forward to growing some good plants in the months to come.
