bhut/pequin sauce

[rhm3769]

Started a new sauce, nothing special....

6 dried bhut jolokia
Handful of dried pequin
2 cloves garlic
1/8 tsp salt
Pinch of ground ginger
Pinch of ground allspice

Cut the bhuts into roughly halves and removed whatever seeds were easy to remove, crushed the pequins and put everything into an 8 oz jar. Added in the other ingredients. Added in 2 squirts of lime juice and topped the jar off with vinegar and some agave syrup. Stirred and closed the jar, gonna let it sit a day or two in the garage and top off as needed as the peppers reconstitute. Going to possibly riughly blend to break the peppers into smaller chunks and let it sit for a few weeks before finishing it....

Theres an immediate sweet citrus flavour that masks the rest, even the vinegar... and its packing the heat....

I'll have to grab one.... not sure I'm finished with it yet, though.... all I did was blend it to break everything up.... might use it as a base for two sauces, split it and add more pequins to one and habs to the other, add more garlic and some onion and top them off with vinegar and let them set again for a few weeks....

Its kind of dark, the pequins.returned to red after a few days, the bhuts where anywhere between red and brown....
