Cannon Fire

I've had 2 boxes of pepper seting in the freezer that romy6 was kind enough to send me. He's one of my biggest enablers for making Hot Sauce. these boxes had a bunch of Douglahs, Brain Strains, Barrackpores, Tippens and some nice Yellow 7s in them. I just haven't been able to decide what to do with them. Then, last night while watching Master and Commander it came to me and the concept of Cannon Fire was born. I've made a couple of other sauce that favored the taste of the Carribiean but this one I would almost call Tropical. Here are the players:

Now some of you may have never seen a Blood Orange before.

And here's why it's called a Blood Orange, just look at the color of the meat of that thing.

Can you see the layers in there? Peppers on the bottom, then comes the Kiwi and Blood Orange, Followed my Mango and Sweet Onion and on top is some Sweet Potato.

From a different angle.

So Rocketman, what are you going to do when you finish it off, anything special? Well, thank you for asking, yes I am.

I'm going to rock this one out fermenting for about 90 days and then process and see what we have. Stay tuned Rocket Fans.

Fiddy, you got Sums Coconut Shrimp Recipe around there? I think there might just be a new little sum sum for dat ;)

Cheers,

Nope, I use my Ninja and then, if i feel like taking the seeds out, I'll run it through a fine mesh srainer. I kind of like the look of the seeds floating in there just not too many.

Well I had planed to let this run through the end of May but after looking at it today while adding my new mash Im thinking I might just process it this week. With the new ferment started today that's 3 mashes going. Here's a quick pic if them.

And here we go

PH out of the jar was at 4.0. It usually come out at about 3.4 but there were a lot of sugars to chew through in this mash so it's not too surprising to be a touch high



Adding Coconut Water



And added a half cup of Key Lime Juice to help with the PH



On a side note these were 89 cents a pound today at Publix so tomorrow morning they'll get 4 hours in the smoker and then into the dryer for some Smoked Sun dried Tomatoes



When I opened the jar the smell of the the peppers and fruit was fantastic and had blended together into a wonderful aroma. Sweet with some really great pungent notes to it. I can't wait to get this cooked up and get a taste.

Cheers

Damn it smells good and just got my first little taste and Oh Baby, got some really good front top of the tongue burn going on and now starting to creep back a bit. Nice fruity flavor but not sweet, amazing. I'm really living the color too and the little black seeds from the Kiwi floating around looks good. I can't wait to see what some of my testers have to say about it. To me though this one is a winner.
