Blackberry hot sauce?

[simon04]

Basically, I had the idea of making a hot sauce based on blackberries.


So, I wondered if anybody has some recipe ideas?

I will have Red Rocotos and Morugas, and an unspecified superhot peppers to choose from. Possibly some Scotch Bonnets or Tabasco too.

Are you going to ferment or make a fresh sauce. Savory or sweet? Did you look through sauce making thread should find tons of great recipes love fruit based sauces! I use roasted garlic and shallots some ginger and lime juice. I also fortify sauce with organic berry juice if I want additional sweetness I use honey.

 

[simon04]

Well, I'm thinking fruity, a little sweet, but not sticky.

I'd be open to the idea of fermenting, but would also be happy with a simmered and blended sauce.

Oh and I use cider vinegar as far as measurements it depends on the amount of peppers. But the ingredients I listed work great.

 

[simon04]

Great, thanks.

I'm thinking a thin, liquidy sauce that could be used as a steak sauce.

Goes good with chipotle. Nice smoky kick that can be added to pork, or even cheesecake.

 

[simon04]

Come to think of it, I do have a few chipotles - though I didn't grow them.

Also bourbon goes good with it.

Watermelon instead of tomato, maybe. I have heard of watermelon salsa and I think it would go well with blackberries. It would also be less expensive than using blackberries for the bulk of your salsa. It is good for you because it has lutein, like tomato.

Thanks, That sounds good... and no ferment.

Luckily I was able to pick Blackberries for free, and froze them.

Sounds great!

Thanks for the pointers... here's what I went for;

370g blackberries
4x small apples, cored
3x chipotles, rehydrated
1x brown superhot
1 cup rice vinegar
1.5 cup water
3TBS honey
1tsp xanthan gum

All blended, simmered, sieved and simmered again. Then bottled hot.

It has worked well with breaded chicken, jacket potato and as a steak sauce.

Nice. Let's see it in action in the food forum.

I did one sauce where I fermented with strawberries, and finished with fresh picked blackberries. It's definitely one of my favorites.

Looks great
 
Been trying to find blackcurrants lol

 

[simon04]

I'm amazed that very few people pick the fruit round here. There's also Plums, Cherries, Apples and Sloes, to name a few.

Sloes are very popular in the UK, Sloe Gin, Liquer, Jam, Rhubarb Crumble....  lol
