I am trying to get excited for the new season by looking through some old pics, thought I would share...

That sauce look tasty, got recipe for that if i wanted to check it out?

I might, but this one was super simple.
 
My version of a sriracha - Trinidad sweets, roasted garlic, salt, water.  Done. 
 
The twist was I fermented and then rested it on whiskey staves for about a year. 
 
It was so popular that I ran out in a week and barely got any for myself.

Looks awesome. Did the staves impart a strong oak flavor?

Nice!

Roasted peppers too right? Charred skins?

Not really how I would describe it.  The biggest effect I can honestly say, was that it mellowed out the astringent of the peppers and gave a sweet grainy taste? For lack of a better description. 
 
I did some spicy dijon with Gin staves and it was much more pronounced.

It looks like that doesn't it?  Its actually just some pieces of charred oak from the whisky staves.

Thanks! I'm a big fan of the K.I.S.S. method. 
 
Plus the trini sweets are soooo good, I didnt want to distract from them.

Trinidad sweets sounds like a pepper I would like. Got to try and find some this summer.

For sure!  I have my order in already. 
 
These peppers are some of my favorite because I grow and eat all of the hottest...but have trouble convincing people that the "supers" have good flavor. 
 
Trinidad sweets, IMHO, have the taste of the supers, without the cover charge. 
 
It's a gateway pepper...lol

Thanks! I'm kind of a stickler for color, even on some of my more complex sauces.
