Hab hot sauce test batch #1

6 habs (seeded)
6 Lombardo pepperoncinis that turned red
2 small cherry tomatoes
1/2 tbs ketchup
2 tbs Korean pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp onion powder
2 tbs white balsamic vinegar 6%
1 tbs double strength rice vinegar 8%
Juice from half of a lemon.( about 2 tbs added after heat was turned off)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of Mexican oregano
Pinch of cumin
1/8 tsp ascorbic acid added at bottling
 
Too mild so i added 6 lemon drops chopped with seeds. The result almost fills a 14oz Heinz no salt added ketchup bottle. Tried the white balsamic on a whim. I think i like it if used in moderation because it can get a bit sweet.
