Bhuthead Andy's Hot Sauce

[Walchit]

Figured I would make a thread for my sauce. Working on this one that has been posted a couple times.

Pumpkin Hot Sauce- Hot

1 can Pumpkin (~2 pounds)

5 # fresh red Peppers (Fresno, the generic red chiles from the supermarket)

2 bags Dried Cranberries (sweetened Craisins)

10 oz Sweet Onion

4 oz Garlic

6-8 leaves of Fresh Sage

2 cups balsamic vinegar

1 tsp Sea salt

Beer &/or wine to cover



This turned out fairly thick, we had to use a good bit of wine/beer to thin it out. One time we used white wine, another time it was a good hearty dark beer.

Based on a fermented recipe from Rocketman

I didn't put sage in it. Isn't that the stuff that gives breakfast sausage its flavor? Idk I'm not a chef, so I didn't like the sound of that. I added cinnamon, clove, and some pumpkin spice which is a combo of those plus nutmeg and ginger.

Left out the garlic too.
Then doubled the recipe but only used about 5 pounds of mixed peppers.

Added honey, some water and acc and a 750 of wine from Germany I believe.

Nice color!

 

[Walchit]

Its about the same color as applesauce. I probably could have cooked it less, but it kept smelling better and better lol. I tried some, it could be a little hotter, but its pretty good.

Looking good, didnt know you made hot sauces. Nicely done

 

[Walchit]

Thanks! I owe it all to this fine website

Here's the lineup so far.

The one all the way to the right is the only bottle I made out of the jalapeno batch before I added pineapple. I hung on to it to see if it ages well, lol

Gonna see if I can get that devil to look alright black and white and get the labels on the white devil sauce. I have high hopes for the artwork I have coming for the "Ol' Yeller" it will be a rabid fawn Presa Canario.

Did i post the art for the ferment I have going?

Definitely a lot of make sauce related stuff.

You do the artwork yourself bro? I like it

 

[Walchit]

My buddy's kid has drawn all of those for me. I wish I could draw, cause sometimes what I have in my head is super cool, but I can't complain. His art is dope.

 

[Gumbo67]

These are amazing! So much variety, and your labels are great!

 

[Walchit]

Thanks! I have a couple more ideas for sauces

Here's the ol yeller art

 

[The Hot Pepper]

The original artwork is great! I would suggest when using on labels you really up the saturation/contrast on them to make them more label-like... I would not recommend that in the original art, but this can be done after so they look less "drawn" and so they pop.

I actually just read your comment in another thread saying that! On the twisted taco it looked really light on Photoshop so I messed with the colors on it. When it printed it came out really dark though. I'm not good at Photoshop, I can use it just good enough to get a picture slapped on the sauce lol.

I changed my mind on editing the red devil to a white devil, and have him drawing me the real Ekwensu Ocha. He was gonna work on it a couple nights ago, so hopefully I will have it ready pretty soon.

Think that's what I will call the red ferment

Temperature compensating, and it has some strip you can pull out and cut a little off. Supposed to last longer.

Raspberries were not getting ate, and I didnt want to waste them, so i made a little sauce today. The raspberry seeds are too small to strain out, and the blender doesnt get them, on not super happy about the seeds in the sauce, but it tastes good.

Used some crossed slcr, and some of the correct pheno. Could be hotter, but its got some bite.

 

[nmlarson]

That sounds really delicious! Have you tried a chinois to strain the seeds? One like this?

A couple of years ago, I made red sauce using the last of the cherry tomatoes and it was LOADED with seeds. The chinois, along with a small long-handled ladle, made quick work of those pesky seeds.

 

[Walchit]

I was gonna see if I still had a clean bag from my compost tea kit, but that thing looks cool, where did you get yours?

My other thought was a layer or two of cheese cloth in the strainer, but I know that is gonna waste a bunch of sauce too.
