Last batch came out too hot. How do I mellow it out?

[neoguy]

This last batch came out blazing, not sure why. How do I mellow it out without using fruit or sweeteners? It was not a ferment. Basic ingredients 410 g of smoked cayenne, 150 g garlic, 205 g of onion, a single 7 pot primo, 3 cups water, 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar and a tablespoon of honey. Thanks in advance.

If you do not want to use sweeteners add in some sweet peppers. I personally would add in some nice clover honey.

Cut it with not hot peppers. A lot of people use bells. I prefer dulcettas.

I did add some raw honey, along with the onions it's pretty sweet already.

Found this.>How can I tone down heat on Habanero ferment?

 

[neoguy]

I did see that, I'll re-read it.

yeah sweet red bells, maybe 1-2lbs depending on how much sauce you have and how much you're trying to bring the heat down.  roast for a bit in the over first, then skin them and mix into the sauce.  blend everything up and re-bottle or jar.

I'd just bottle and leave it. I've found all my sauces taste much hotter when freshly made than after a few days in the bottle. I tried to make a stupid hot sauce using 15 krakens (over 6 bottles) and it was terrible in the pot but absolutely fine out of the bottle.

You could just leave it,as is, keep eating it and build up your tolerance [emoji16].
