Made this just today. Tastes amazing and only used one single pepper (a super hot) to make it. Made just over 2 metric cups so strictly a small batch recipe this one.... can double or triple everything for larger batch size accordingly.... Either way it's a fairly simple recipe that works surprisingly well.


Ingredients:
1 Ripe Trinidad Scorpion Butch Taylor, deseeded and sliced thinly.
2 Red Capsicums (or bell peppers), sliced into small pieces.
Half a brown onion, sliced thinly
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
1/2 cup of white vinegar
1/4 cup of Maple syrup (pure 100% canadian, NOT the artificially flavored rubbish)
3/4 Water

Method:
1. Heat frypan with a little oil on medium to high heat and fry onions and capsicums until quite soft, ensuring they don't burn.
2. Add garlic and chilli and stir in thoroughly for a couple minutes (do be careful with this step as the fumes from the chilli can be extremely overpowering).
3. Transfer pan ingredients into a blender and add all remaining ingredients.
4. Blend until everything is well combined. (A nutri bullet is extremely good for this).
5. Strain through a sieve for a smooth sauce, if a little chunky is what you're after skip this step.
6. Funnel sauce into sterilised bottles or if you want to thicken your sauce a bit, first pour it into a pot and simmer until desired thickness is reached.

I'm going to use this exact recipe again but with a Carolina Reaper once i've got a ripe one to pick =)

Ill share a couple of my own concoctions

1. Plain Jane Habanero Slather
- 500g habaneros + 10g salt. Vaccum seal and leave for one month.
...
- Fermented peppers from step 1
- 150 g white vinegar
- 16 g salt
- (optional) 1/2 g Xantham to avoid separation [i usually omit]

Blend till smooth and bottle raw without cooking. Keep refrigerated. Squeeze bottle preferred, this will be thick.



2. Fr*nks Red Hot ~ Hab Tribute
- 250g habanero peppers + 5 g salt. Vaccuum seal and ferment 1-3 mo.

...

- Fermented peppers from step 1.
- 350g white vinegar

Blend till mostly smooth then run through pepper mill. MEASURE the new weight of sauce AFTER removing seeds/pulp.

- add enough salt to get to 8% total salt % by weight of sauce based on the new weight. (Ie if after milling you have 500g total sauce, you need 40g total salt to hit 8%. 5g salt was already added during fermentation step, so add 35g more now).
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1g xantham gum

Blend till smooth. I prefer to use without cooking. If you cook i suggest you add garlic powder at the very end just before bottling to avoid bitter flavors.
