Something "Funky" Sauce

I finally got around to making something out of my funky habs. :)

S6301628.JPG


It's got about 2 cups of my Burkina habs, A chocolate Hab, A Bih Jolokia, onions, garlic, and green olives.

Acidity supplied by a mix of rice vinegar, lemon juice and white & apple vinegars.

Sweetness is from turbino sugar and molasses with a bit of fruit juice to balance it out and keep it from being too thick.

Also has my dry mix of chinese red pepper, chipotle powder, garlic pepper salt, onion powder, and a dash of curry.

Corrected flavor with a pinch here and there of sea salt and black pepper. It came together nicely...it almost tastes like a "red" version of my fave El Yucateco Aztec Hab Sauce, but is a lot hotter. (irony is I re-used one of those bottles to put it in)

Those habs pack an immediate wallop mitigated somewhat by the red pepper's deeper flavor, then the naga/choc. hab burn gets ya. It's semi-sweet, pungent and smoky flavored with a lot of different undertones, which is what I like. Mmmmm.

Ended up making about 12 onces after cooking down. Hot-packed into boiled bottles and voila, sauce. The metal capped bottle sealed itself just nicely too :)

Epilepsy alert! As for artificial colours, ever tried taking a hyperactive young kid to the cinema and thinking you're being kind treating them to a large bag of over-priced Skittles? Big, fat, stupid mistake on my behalf, they have a need to bounce off the walls.

As a hyperactive kid I knew that all to well. As a hyperactive adult, I still have to watch what I eat. :lol:

Looks kind of tasty.

Quad are you one of those guys who has to put hot on everything you eat? You ever find yourself sitting on the pot rooting for the ice cream to show up?

Just wondering.;)

On everything....ya, pretty much. :)

I stopped getting the 'ol ring-sting when I stopped eeating extracts. It's the only thing that hurts the next day unless I eat a whole funky hab or Naga. Those I can feel.

I hava very good digestive system which comes from almost never eating food I don't cook myself. Hell, I hardly even get gassy unless I drink like a dozen beers...lol!

The 'usual' American diet is terrible..but gives Doctors extra work I guess. :lol:

I also nearly never get sick and haven't had a flu in about a decade.

Good for you Quad...that is awesome man. I have modified my diet considerably in the past couple months. I gave up on the cigarettes in May, and now I eat meat once a week. I have dropped a pound a week since I started that diet change...and I am feeling better all the time.

I also use hot sauce (my own brew) on almost everything I eat. I am working on some new recipes with different kinds of peppers....and when I see an excellent sauce like the one you whipped up i just say....hell yeah....you go man!!!!:mouthonfire::hell::mouthonfire:
