Hey folks, as you may have garnered from my post count, I'm the new guy
I am a life long chili head. I discovered the dried cayenne pepper flakes on my pizza when out to dinner with my folks, some 35yrs ago, and never looked back
I have some Bhut's I am wanting to make a hotsauce with tonight (need to use them before they go bad, and I don't want to freeze them) and I figured I would ask here about shelf stability. I am a gardener with experience in pressure canning, (I actually have 4 of them) so I am familiar with their use. My question is this,...do I need to be concerned with ph values if I am pressure canning the sauce?? I would like to be able to can it, and simply place it in the pantry with the rest of this year's goods.
If I am correct in my thinking that pressure canning will make it shelf stable,..my next question would be how much time and pressure??
ingredients are:
hot peppers (Duh)
onion
garlic
white vinegar
olive oil (for carmelizing before the processor)
