after last night, 151 5oz bottles put up.....5 sauces....once more to go
last night was orange night......a slew of orange peppers, ginger, carrot, garlic, fresh squeezed orange juice and agave syrup....
color is great, this pic does not do it justice
red was something like 52 bottles......lots of cranberries, lots of varieties of reds, and pomegranate juice (as well as agave....i like a little sweet balance)
there's a chocolate that got morugas, carmel bhuts and a few other browns....some smoked garlic, smoked onion, purple carrot and agave....this one came out a little purple in color
yellow was simple....fatali, devil's tongue, brain strain and a few others....just enough papaya, mango & agave to give it depth....but you'd be hard pressed to name the ingredients if i didn't tell you.....i like a little depth, but i want the peppers to shine....
the green got smoked jalapenos and a few other greens.....smoked onion...smoked garlic....lemon, lime & agave......it is not hot, but people seem to like it so far.....
a few more pics....
the green and the purple chocolate....
i've gotta do one more batch of blend (i saved some chocs, yellows, reds & oranges).....the non-chocolates will get some apple smoke....this will get carrot, smoked onion, garlic, citrus and whatever else i feel like putting in....this is always my most complex flavored sauce......and usually my favorite.....although this year the orange came out great, i had never used fresh ginger before, and i just winged it.....and nailed the right amount
i should end up with roughly 175-180 bottles out of my garden this year
p.s. - these are all vinegar based sauces
oops....someone move this to the sauce forum! lol
