fermenting almost forgotten

Found this behind a few jars of pickles in the pantry. 79 days old. Starfish peppers, chocolate bhut, and strawberries 3% salinity. Looking good so I'll be processing it today.

Very happy with how this one came together. Had some honey from a local bee keeper so I decided to balance the heat with it. The addition of fresh and dried garlic gave this sauce a savory but sweet medium heat sauce. Ingredients: starfish pepper, chocolate ghost pepper, garlic, carrot, strawberry, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, vinegar, xanthan gum

2021???? If I dig around I'll find stuff from 2012.  :rofl:
I consume way too much to let things sit any more than six weeks so to find one at 79 days is rare. I also have a local demand to keep making sauces that I try to not only keep up with but grow as well.

I do love how the longer ferments flavor. And plan on adding a couple additional weeks to our flagship Louisiana style starfish pepper sauce.
