First batch of sauce for this season.

tctenten · Oct 26, 2014

Decided to make a couple of sauces before the football games today. Experimented with some fruit in both sauces, which is a new wrinkle for me. The red sauce is mostly Cayenne peppers with mango and 2 reapers for some extra heat. The yellow is a mix of Lemon Drop, Yellow Bhuts and pineapple. We will see how they taste after they rest for a few weeks.

Thanks Randy. First time making a yellow sauce for me. The color held pretty well and hopefully will taste ok after it sits for a few weeks.

9 oz Lemon Drop peppers (a Burpee variety I picked up at a local garden center)
1 oz Yellow Bhuts
1/4 oz fresh ginger
1 onion
1 tbspn olive oil
2 cups water
2 cups pineapple
1 cup combination of juice from 2 lemons and the rest vinegar

I sauté the peppers, onion and ginger in the olive oil for 5 minutes on high heat. Then add the water, cook for about 30 minutes on high heat or until most of the water is evaporated. Then i let it cool. After it has cooled enough it goes into the blender on a low setting, As it is mixing in the blender the lemon juice/vinegar combo is added and continue to blend until everything is incorporated. Then it goes through the food mill to remove the seeds and skins of the peppers. This sauce has to go in the fridge, to make it shelf stable i would just cook it again after the food mill and than hot fill the woozies.
This filled 2 12 oz woozies for me.

I make this pretty dank fruit hot sauce with papaya, citrus juice, garlic and habaneros, definitely worth a try if you like papaya. I'm not big on store bought papaya because it smells like butthole, but the papayas I grow lack that pungent odor. With that being said, I've used more pungent over-ripened papaya and it still tasted great

I do have sauces that taste damn fine on ice cream.

Once the are ready, I think the lemon drop/pineapple sauce will be tested on a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream. Thanks for the suggestion.

tecten: Nice colour sauces!

The last year I made a pineaple sauce with ginger, very similar to your recipe, but without olive and was liked me much. i did use jamaicans, lemon drops and trinidad scorpions, if I remember correctly

I think that I make again these sauce.

tctenten · Jun 21, 2015

I hope to make it again this year as I have about 5 or 6 different yellows that i am growing. I was very happy with the sauce.

Small batch of hot sauce from the a mixed bunch of peppers. I used blueberries as the fruit and is a mild type heat. It will rest for a few weeks, and then we will try it out. You can see the coloring is a bit darker than the red shrink wrap, but I was hoping it would have more of a blue color.

oldsalty · Jul 12, 2015

Mine did that did get a little darker after resting but looks fantastic brother!!!!

I have not been updating this as I have been making sauces. Here is an update on the sauces I have made so far this year.

The next three are the Mystery Wine pepper sauces.

All of those sauces were not fermented, I started this ferment this this morning and will update as I process it.

Infinite background in effect, too

Kraut Source or whatever, too ...

Your all over it, dude!
