Fruit Fresh

[patrick]

Looking to buy some ascorbic acid, to lower the pH in sauces, all I could find at the local grocery store was Fruit Fresh. The ingredients are: Dextrose, Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), Citric Acid, Silicon Dioxide for anti caking. Says it contains no Sulfites. Anyone ever use this stuff or see a reason why it wouldn't work?

Thanks.

What was the final Ph?

Thanks everyone. Final pH was 3.79. I can live with that. No sour after taste either. No harshness from too much vinegar or lemon juice. It has a strong pepper flavor with a pretty good tongue and back-o-the-throat burn.

Awesome results. Think I'm going to have to try that out for my next sauce.

I might be too late for this batch but my sister got me some Emergen-C dietary supplement that has 1000mg of ascorbic acid with some Carbohydrate and Sugar and some added vitamins. I think she got it at the Walmart drug section. Might try that if you cant find ascorbic acid anywhere else.

Looking good

Greg I was thinking about calling it "Tarantula Bite" hot sauce or some other such goofiness.

That your pretty eight legged buddy there Ceberus? Look at the fangs on that beast!

Thanks for the tip Balac, I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.
