First Sauce...blah

[Pepperhead]

So my first sauce was a bitter failure. It smelled good and had good heat but tasted "metallic". Poor choice of peppers? Fermented too long?

Here's what was in it:

Kung pao peppers
Hungarian wax
Fajita bell
onion
Garlic
Pineapple

fermented 5 months with yogurt lactobacillus.

At the last minute threw in some dried cayennes. Tasted bitter so I threw in a little more canned pineapple.

Was it the last minute additions or maybe baddies snuck into my fermentation?

Might have been the pineapple. I can see where it come across as metallic without the sugars. Try it again but add the pineapples when you finalize the sauce.

Bill is that because they're canned VS fresh?

I can see that. maybee just pineapple juice next time. I think this year I will try fresh instead of fermented.
