Ingredients:
43 - Jamaican Hot Reds
40 - Tepins
10 - NuMex Bailey Pequin
25 - White Habeneros
4 - Orange Habaneros
2 - Chocolate Habeneros
1 - Dorset Naga
2 - 7 Pot
1 - Trinidad Scorpion
3 Tbsp Salt
9 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1200 ml Plums (Mango flavored)
5 Limes
4 Cups Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Arrowroot

Will be working on a label later tonight…I am going to call it “Plum Hot”

These are 150 ml containers.

The point was, he didn't say he needed it thinned out, and you would be adding water. The vinegar was already going in, so the sauce would have turned out the same. ;)

with that amount of peppers I'm thinking it will certainly punch up in heat, but some of the sugars will punch out too and help even it out..also the vinegar will taper ou too so don't stress about the vinegar bite give it a fortnight to a month and they will be very tasty me thinks...Because I use alot of fruits in my sauce I tend not to cook mine too hard. I tend to bring to boil and hold for say 20 minutes then proceed to bottling ...
they look great, keep me posted..you may want to patent it if its real good..

Sounds like a tasty batch you've got here AJ!! Tasty sounding indeed that's for sure. Also. Stillmanz I'm a HUGE eater of venison when I have it. I'm going to have to keep that plumb idea in mind.

Well, this is a Bih and a Chocolate Hab rehydrating in some rice vinegar. It's been about 6-8 hrs they've been swimming in there now.

I tell ya what, that vinegar could scare a moose right about now...it started off being pretty clear...

Nice thing is, no watering down since i can just pitch the whole thing in with the other ingredients.

This is kind of ironic AJ, but I was in my pantry tonight looking for something different to put on my wings (every once in a while I do have something besides Defcon) and I found this bottle of Jim Beam Plum and Whiskey wing sauce that I bought a while back and forgot about. I made a doezen and mixed this with a bit of DM MKII (had to have some Defcon heat). It was great. I never really thought of plums with hot sauce, but I think you will love your sauce. Keep us posted.

When I went to central market yesterday to get some mango they were out as I found out when I talked to the guy that was stocking...he turned me on to these plums...they are tennis ball sized, yellow/redish when completely ripe and taste very good...sweet of course, with mango undertones....I will try and get the name of the plums and post.

Pluot Plum...finally remembered to answer your question Stillz... :lol:

it is a hybrid between an apricot and a plum....they are delicious...

"Pluots:
Pluots are a cross between and plums and apricots. The pluot is a new fruit that was developed by Floyd Zaiger in the 1990s. There are several varieties of pluots with colors that range from pink to red. The pluot is sweeter than both of its parents, the plum and the apricot."

but you got the balance right. thats the most important thing in my opinion.
Anyone can make somethoing hot, but its a nack to make something hot, tasty and morish.
It sounds really delicious.
I'll look around for those plumbs, I've never heard of them before, very interesting, would be great as a chilli jam or jelly perhaps?
