Went looking through my freezer this morning, and realized I had a ton of chocolate pods in there. Pulled them all out with thoughts of making a smoked powder, and decided to use some for a smoked pepper sauce as well. Got a nice mixture in there, including a couple of choco bhuts, black naga's, black congo's, brown 7's, a couple of sepia serpents and a douglah or 2, and a bunch of Phil's choco scorpion looking pods that were supposed to be Jay's peach ghost scorps. Ate half a douglah while splitting the pods, bad idea! Those suckers are crazy hot! Glad I wimped out and didn't eat the whole thing.
Peppers ready for the smoke-
After 2 hours of pecan smoke-
Kept a couple of the congo's fresh to add an extra flavour profile. Added 8 fresh congo's and about 12 assorted smoked peppers, 1 onion chopped, 2 carrots chopped, 5 cloves of garlic, 2 teaspoons of agave nectar, 1 cup of vinegar and 1 1/2 cups water to a saucepan and simmered for 20 minutes. Once everything was soft, transferred to a blender, blended everything together then back to the saucepan to simmer for another 20 minutes. Back to the blender again to smooth it out a little bit more, then back to the saucepan to get back up to 190. Once up to temp, transferred to woozies and a mason jar. Ended up with 4 1/2 5oz wozies and 1 pint jar. No idea what it tastes like yet, but will use the 1/2 woozie as a tester and have a taste tomorrow.
