Hi I'm Susan and I have a hot sauce problem

so after many weekends and experimentation I am saddened that my pepper season is coming to an end. I have had a lot of fun playing around with different ingredients and thought I would share.
 
Here is a photo of what I have left in my arsenal (even after giving many bottles away)
 

 
ingredients I have used:
cranberry
mango
oh! the store doesnt have mango today, screw it! cantaloupe it is!!
pineapple
carrot
Hey someone brought in wild small purply type grapes to work, screw it! concorde type grapes it is!
strawberries
hey I have raspberries in the fridge! throw those suckers in
blackberries
blueberries
lots of garlic and onion
ginger
 
 
what else? who knows! can't wait to try!
 
 
 
 
Blackberry hot sauce. :think: I bet that is a good flavor.
 
 It would have been, but it was one of my first tries, and it is entirely 7 pot brainstrains. I called it "Certain Death" and only one person has been brave enough to try it. I found a bad of flaming dog poo on my doorstep the other day and I think he was the one that left it (kidding).
 
 
looks like a little espresso basket or something there.  Susan, are you making a coffee hotsauce youre not telling us about?
 
Ooooo.. now that is an interesting idea!!!! But, alas.. no.. I started out with lots of coffee and by the end of the day I switched to wine. I am surprised the photo does not look blurry and slanted at an "about to pass out" angle.
 
Thank you all! I appreciate the responses!
 
You guys all helped with this as I used a lot of your recipes as a starter for me! And I have had a blast learning.
 
Funny story:  For work I start up new treatment plants and train operators how to operate them and do the testing involved. So part of that is laboratory training. I do not own a pH meter so I was bringing the sauces in discretely to test pH. Well, one of the operators walked in as I was doing a round of testing and I had to give him three bottles to shut him up.
 
 
Anyhow, I have ordered some fermenting supplies now and I think I may play around with that next.
 
So your hot sauce arsenal is really a Hush Fund.  :lol:  Great story and great sauces!  Looks like you had a good time.
