Well, this year I started learning how to make sauces. Last year all I did was dehydrate all my peppers, and occasionally threw some in some salsa, or pickles. I learned a lot from Salsalady, and the others here that post their recipes. I ended up with about 12 different kinds, 8 of which are pretty decent. My favorite is a Mango-Peach TSMB sauce, and my "Mike's Garden" sauce, (which is a mix of superhots, and some other hots). All in all I ended up with about 100 bottles of sauce, 8 decent recipes, lots of powders, and lots of ideas for next year. This Christmas I'll be giving a lot away to friends and family. Here's a money shot of it all:
I know it pales in comparison to some folk's operations here. But, for my first year I think I got off to a nice start. Hell, I didn't even start making hot sauces until almost October!!!
