My first attempt at sauce.

ingredients:

2 tomatillos
4 baby carrots
1 yellow tomato (seeded)
6 jalapenos
about 2 dozen red and orange habaneros
4 large cloves of garlic
half of a medium size onion
1 mango
one dropper full of stevia extract
pink sea salt to taste
half bottle of white vinegar
many dashes of malt and red wine vinegar
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

I removed the placenta and most of the seeds from the peppers and I threw it all in a blender. I let it cook over medium heat til boiling and let it go for about 10 minutes.

I tried a little bit and it's not too bad. I may have to adjust seasoning, but i think it'll be okay. I just have to find bottles now so i can keep it and so i can give some away. I have the empty vinegar bottle and an old hot sauce bottle in the dishwasher getting cleaned for this purpose.

Did i miss anything? Suggestions?

It'll happen, but i may have to buy the fatalis, puree them, and freeze them until i can find the right figs. I'd need to use those awesome green figs so as to not make for a brown sauce.

I have some stuff going in the new dehydrator right now for potential future sauces. I have a few orange habs (couldnt find many), some unknown red chili not much bigger than a hab or jalapeno, some giant jalapenos, and some serranos. I also have a few figs and a couple white peaches. I'm hoping to leave the tiniest fraction of moisture in these guys so that i can have them chewy.

Should i just dry them all the way?

Where do you buy fatalis? I have never seen them anywhere.

I prefer using dried peppers in all of our stuff. Who needs all that extra fluid? :cool:

Hey man, i'm a noob with sauce. ;) This was a first attempt and i'm really happy with the end result. I have a stockpile of dried pods now that i haven't decided what to do with yet. I've been planning something, but i haven't figured it out in full yet.

Ideas floating are of course a fatali-fig sauce. I just need fatalis and figs to do that one. I want to do something like a beer hot sauce, but i haven't figured a way to make that work. I'm open to ideas though. I'm thinking maybe an ale reduction, but i haven't visualized how that would work.

Very good. It's usually a lot of trial and error. As for the dried pods, with a heavy beer, like a stout, ever think of doing a reduction with the dried pods, in the form of a BBQ sauce? Just a hint.

hmm. no, i didn't think of a BBQ sauce. maybe an oatmeal stout, reduced to about half with the dry pods soaking in it overnight perhaps? a bit of molasses? maybe some dry mustard? malt vinegar? maybe even use a touch of dried hops as a flavoring? That would work man. For real. :shocked: It wouldn't even be difficult.

Thanks man. ;) I am waiting primarily on finding both the figs and the fatalis. That's what holds it back. However, i think i prefer the lighter slightly green figs, but the darker skinned ones would work out just as well. My local Costco has had killer figs lately. I might buy and freeze those as well. Maybe mash em and freeze them so as to avoid freezer burn.

The plum idea sounds good. Kind of a hot/sour thing perhaps? That could work. Use some Thai or other Asian pepper and make it kind of ethnic. Match it to regional seasonings too like a spicy basil or lemon grass.
