i just made a fatalli pineapple sauce

i spent a good chunk of yesterday here reading recipes but they either had no amounts for the ingredients or had too many ingredients/things i don't have or for some other reason i passed on them. i googled fatalli pineapple and found a few. i finally decided to use the ingredient i saw most often used and wing it for amounts!

so this is the second sauce i ever made and the 1st i did without a recipe. sorry guys i don't have a camera so you'll have to use your imagination, you've seen enough photos of the process i can't add anything you haven't already seen!

6 fatallis with the pith seeds removed
1 carrot
1 mango
1/2 cup onion
10 oz crushed canned pineapple
juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/4 tsp salt

i steamed the carrots and onions then added everything in 3 batches to my blender. i cooked it for 20 minutes then back to the blender then i cooked it for another 40 minutes. it's the color of bulgarian carrot pepper the color of the sauce

it is creamy and moderately hot but not sweet and it doesn't really have much of any taste! not too happy, i thought this would turn out great. i like the heat, it lingers and builds. it made 2 pints.

Ingredients look fine... proportions could be off, 1/2 cup of each vinegar and lemon juice seem a bit much in comparison to the solids, I'm not a big fan of "canned" pineapple, seems a bit acidic tasting, but it is cost effective if doing volume size sauces,
I'd recommend adding some additional ingredients to your recipe, such as ginger or garlic, maybe a few spices, ground cardamon, allspice, mustard seed, as a few examples....a good sauce has flavor through the heat
Give it a day or two, your sauce could be a little "raw or rough" tasting now but might easily meld together

thanks, i thought i might start adding things to small amounts to see the effect. i was considering some white vinegar but that sounds like i shouldn't do that. i considered garlic, i'd have to get some ginger. i wonder about cumin? i could try the other spices.

i have about 10 more fatallis frozen but at this point i want to hold them and not put more into what is a moderately hot sauce. my gripe is lack of flavor not heat.

I made a similar sauce. I used absolutely no lemon juice but a similar proportion of vinegar:pineapple:mango. I used 10-12 fatalis, 5-6 cloves of garlic, a teaspoon+ of cumin, a teaspoon+ black pepper and a at least 1/4 oz of fresh grated ginger.

It was hot, but not too hot and very flavorful, the ginger came through as did that wonderful fatali flavor. Color was similar to yours too, maybe a bit more yellow.

i did that this evening. the garlic and cumin did perk it up, i'm sure ginger would help too but i need to buy some. hopefully i will have some sauce left so when i go to the store friday i can get some ginger and try that. so far i ate 1/5 of 1 of the 2 pint jars! it's really good on bread with peanut butter and orange marmalade. and i think the orange marmalade is an interesting ingredient as it is sweet and citrusy and works nicely with the fatalli. i tried adding strawberry jam too it but it wasn't as good as the orange marmalade.

may be time to make another batch! well maybe when i finish this one.

I have to agree with PIC 1 that's a whole-lota acid in there and that could be messing with your flavor. Most likely all you needed was the juice of the lime. To keep with the original I'd try adding more of the solids to it. Make a simple sauce of:

6 fatallis with the pith seeds left in
1 carrot
1 mango
10 oz crushed canned pineapple

Don't add any water the pineapple juice should be enough. Simmer 45 minutes, blend till smooth, add to first sauce and simmer 30 minutes, blend heat to 195 and bottle. Give it a week to get happy and try it. Also, time will fix alot of taste issues. Sometimes they just need that little bit of time for all of the flavore to get to know each other.

Cheers,
RM
