Sounds like a great hot sweet & sour sauce, but I would persoanlly cut back on some of the juice, zest can be left in, make the flavour known, but all that liquid then has to reduce, cook, concentrate.... would be quite powerful. I keep things quite simple when I do it. pick one...

Yeah, for thin sauces, adding thickening ingredients or xanthan gum will help. Add the gum slowly, mixing well each time or mix with water well and then add to sauce. Don't fear! Go buy $5 worth of peppers from the supermarket and experiment! No other way to learn! :)

Well the color bleeds over time, I used 1, wasn't happy with the color from a 1/4 of one so gradually added more. Yeah I have read how effective can xanthan gum is, my plan is to experiment to learn these things with experience and theory. More fun!

Errr.... I am trying to think of something not inappropriate here..... Very nice :)

Seeing as everybody is guessing, I will inform you that my secret ingredient is purple carrot. Born2Burn Show was the closest to the correct answer. I do appreciate all the thoughts about colouring and flavouring agents, gives me ideas :) Might turn this into a game for a give-away next time...

Should dice some 7 pots and mix it up. A bit of recreational fun :)

You are all incorrect so far :P

I'll make another post tomorrow, but a major part of it for me is to grow something exotic, keeps you motivated, interested... If you grow the same kind of basil year in year out, where's the interest? Tomatoes and capsicums are my favorite. Love grape tomatoes, but got some massive Italian...

Thought you'd all be interested. As I have nothing overly interesting, and I am waiting on a shipment (1oz) of Xanthan Gum, I got impatient and made a sauce!! Blended up some jalapenos with vinegar, put em in a pot with water, habaneros, some other things, and pineapple. It was very green, great...

I no longer get the stomach pain, even on empty stomach with superhots. However a little bread, milk, potato, banana can go a very long way. It is foolish to eat superhot stuff on an empty stomach, despite me always doing it, without fail almost every time....

I thought you guys might appreciate some capsaicin pain, As I usually don't post my videos here, which will change soon but for now it's low-key. Its a great sauce from HeatSeekers in Perth Australia, which just won Most Prestigious Sauce (1st Place) at the 2011 Scovie awards. It's not your...

I have found ripe jalapenos are good to dry naturally, have 2 dried ones in front of me actually, completely unintentional that was, but green, does not work at all. Pickles, sauces, powders, salads, loads of uses for them. Make a paste and freeze it? You'll think of something :)

What do they taste like? <awkward moment /> Hey look at the plants over here!

Wow, very red for a pineapple salsa... Looks nice nonetheless. Try making your own pineapple salsa or chutney, it would be even more amazing. Good to see your enthusiasm though :)

For me, yeah habaneros can taste incredible, but I much prefer the flavor of the superhots. The heat really isn't that noticable. I can chow down 7 pots without worrying about heat or after effects. Also the rarity and bragging factors, there are after all very few exotic pepper growers where I...

pics or it didn't happen.

should submit that for the "most pornographic pepper" award, steal the title from the peter pepper :P

That's it :) I'm good to make a nice sauce, I'm ok to shake before every use... but it would be nice to pick up a sauce and it to automatically look good. Besides, I'm all about technicalities in the kitchen, so it would be good to learn some new techniques. Somebody has suggested to me to...

You'd need bad tolerance or medical concern if this were to be possible, but it is possible. Heart conditions, poor stomach/liver health, asthma ect all contribute. After you eat really hot foods and peppers, much of this becomes not applicable because you are far more educated, you can't...

:) Loving all I'm seeing Cappy! I eagerly await my package!!! :)
