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

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 ;)

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

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

They are beauties, aren't they! :fireball:
 
Ohhhhhh Yeahhhhhh, and tasty little things too ;)
 
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!
