D3monic's such a sauce noob

I've tried to make sauces in the past with moderate success and failure. More often than not way too hot even for my taste.

I have a handful of fataliis and looking at making a nice yellow sauce. Fishing for ideas on some ingredients

I just got a PH probe so I can properly bottle the sauce. Not looking at a giant batch. Maybe 6 peppers worth at a medium heat. My last sauce was like 12 bhuts and a jar of applesauce as a cutter and what ever else I added like onion and what not. Was way too hot to consume.

Currently on my cell but later tonight I will dig through some threads on here.

If using ~6 peppers how many apples/jars applesauce and ect would you expect to use to acheive a small batch of medium hi heat sauce... Say around LDHS black label heat? Or should I plan on using less peppers? Only want maybe 5-6 woozies worth.

And ingredient suggestions, think I want to stay away from pineapple and mango.

Maybe, apples, garlic, salt, lime, (ginger?) onion ... Open to ideas just want to keep the yellow color.
Appreciate any insight

I have not yet made a sauce by this method or by fermentation.
I would like to know how I can take this recipe and use it as a ferment.
Would I need to add anything?
Would I need to take some of the ingredients out before the fermentation process and add later during the cooking?
 
Thanks
 
winland that recipe is solid, but I would not add the lemon juice, water or the vinegar until fermentation is over.  You'd also need to add salt and perhaps a bit of starter like whey in order to get things going.  Once the batch is done you could then very easily add the rest of the ingredients during cook down.  :)
 
And I agree Alynne - 'Ode to Pookie' looks like a damn fine sauce indeed!
