Fall Sauce making 2014; time to make the Sauces :)

[RocketMan]

It's that time of year to start making all the goodies that make for a great tasting Holiday Season here around the, well New, launch Pad. That means making:
Flaming Pumpkin
Pumpkin Chutney
Holidaze Sauce
Boutbon Fatalii Apple Butter

Starting with Flaming Pumpkin which will get a 45 day ferment and starts like this:

(That's 3 pounds of Douglahs with that Pumpkin)

Doing it a little different this year. Last year it was made with a mix of super hots and Habaneros. This year it's going to be a Douglah sauce.

Stay tuned there's more to come.

That's why i don't start till the sharp object requiring part is done
 
Part 3
 
After simmering
 

 
Time to run through the sieve
 

 
So that this doesn't get left in
 

 
and your left with a nice smooth Apple Butter
 

 
Simmer a bit more to bring it back up to temperature.

and finally Part 4
 
After all the jars are filled and a lid and ring have been put on it's into a boiling water bath for 10 minutes
 

 

 
Done and Done. those 2 bigger ones on top are the Scovie and Wheebz models
 

 
Now it's your turn, might take a while to do but it dang sure is worth it!

Chef Rocketman !

Nice work Bill. I can imagine the sweet scent in the air.

Apples and Bourbon are a great marriage. I'd have to sample alot of that before ending any corrections.

Little side note on the amount of Sugar used. I like my apple butter a little on the tart side, not sour more like just kind of sweet. The original recipe I used for Apple Butter called for 4 cups of sugar using 4 pounds of Granny Smith Apples. I typically use Fuji's which are a sweeter apple so I adjusted the amount I used down by half. This batch was 8 pounds of apples BUT, the apples were really sweet this year so I only used 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown. Ultimately, you need to let your own taste buds be your guide.

 

[annie57]

True on sugar issue, Bill. Last year used a lot of winesap and like GS (tart) needed 4 cups/2 each white: brown, but any sweet apple like Fuji, yes, halved be best, especially since I used this primarily as a "mop" for pork, late in smoke/cook. (Not too bad on beer-can chix either!) Thanks for updating info!

Holidaze Hot Sauce tonight. So, into the pot goes:

Tamarind
Pomegranate Juice
Sweet Onion
Carrots
Fatalii Peppers
Cinnamon Stick
Rice Vinegar
Water

Bring it to a boil for 15 and simmer for 45 minutes.

Time for blenderization and back into the pot for another 45 minute simmer.

Love that color!

Make sure we have the secret knock code down pat before you head this way, I'd hate to have the Naga Claymore's go off on ya
 

They are beauties, aren't they!

 
Ohhhhhh Yeahhhhhh, and tasty little things too

 

[Devv]

I will!
 
Making the butter this weekend, and the Holidaze the week after. No Fatalii around here, will Red Bhut substitute? I'm sure I'll have to use less of those...
 
Thanks again!

 

[hoibot]

looking delicious once again sir!

 

[RocketMan]

If you can find Datils they're really close to Fatalii. Yeah, you'll only need maybe 1 or 2 Bhuts

You inspired me to make a pumpkin hot sauce this last weekend.  I used pumpkin, chocolate scotch bonnets, ginger, cinnamon, sugar, craisins, vinegar, and maple syrup.  Now I just need to figure out what to put it on
 

 
Edited to add craisins.

 

[RocketMan]

Awesome PPK, go find ya a Turkey Sub and just Slather, that's a true measure in Texas, that stuff all over it

 

[Devv]

Another one of your inspirations, I made some Apple Butter. Didn't have Fatalli's, so I subbed in JA Habs. Went great with Ham!
 
Thanks again for sharing!

 

[RocketMan]

That's is Beauty in a jar, Devv!

Flaming Pumpkin looks like it's going to be amazing. Excellent choice in ingredients. You my friend are a true connoisseur in sauces.
