    So I typically make sauces with peppers, maybe carrots, onions and garlic, and vinegar.  I always try to keep my ph below 4.  Closer to 3.5 so they are shelf stable.  So Im wanting to broaden my horizons maybe and start using some different ingredients.  Some recipes Im reading are using fruit...

    pH Tester Recommendations Please.

      I ordered this one from...Oakton EcoTestr pH 2 Waterproof pH Tester, 0.0 to 14.0 pH Range, from Amazon (the one in the link).  Can you use it in hot liquids when making sauce?  Just checking.  Thanks.

    Questions on sauce storage.

    The TDS-3 looks affordable. What do you mean by temperature compensation? You can check at any temperature or higher temps or ...? Thanks! Thanks for the advice! Thanks for the heads up. I will multiply my recipe. If I'd gone to all that effort for two bottles I'd have been pi$$ed!
