Cranberry Fire Lite

hot stuff · Nov 22, 2014

Cranberry Fire lite hot sauce. I only used c. annuums (about 50 reconstituted dried chilies from the oriental market) in this year's mix for my wife who has bad reactions to c. chinense chilies.. It will great on our turkeys and hams this holiday season. Last year I used Bonda Ma Jacque chilies. 3 bags of cranberries, 2 whole oranges (deseeded) 5 cups of sugar 5 cups of water.

I have, it just didnt taste right to me. When i think of cranberry sauce, i look forward to that mix of sweet and tart. A mix of heat in there just doesnt hit the palate the right way, personally.

Looks and sounds great hotstuff! Reminds me that I really need to make a cranberry/pepper jelly before Thanksgiving.

Hey hot stuff what other chilies would you recommend and what size bag of cranberries were they!! I have habs and Moruga right now. Any thoughts would be appreciated doing a cranberry ferment.
Thanks

Well for my cranberry hot sauce I used the standard size bags you can get at the store cheap, idk what are they 12-16oz?
What other kind of chilies? I think anything would work well, the citrusy tasting/smelling the better in my book for this. Depending on one's tolerance I'd start off with 1 superhot per bag of cranberries.
Note, I used whole oranges, peal and all excepting seeds, for this. cut them up and put them through the blender. My final ph was still 3.1.
And this was not a ferment.

thanks again.

I bet this would go great over some grilled chicken breasts!!!! Saute some breasts, cover in this sauce and let simmer.

Probably. It was great over ham on Christmas.

Get some pear slices and a mixture of good soft and med cheeses to try with it....YUM!!!

This year I used two I Scream peppers per bag of cranberries. Not so hot that normal mortal couldn't handle it. Next year will boost to 3 superhots per bag.
