Hey Podners, Sethsquatch here. I am going to be making my first batch of sauce soon. I have my ingredients picked out (pretty basic) and may be frothing at the mouth a bit. I've been all over these forums the last couple months reading and researching.
Here's the list in order of quantity:
Red Habaneros
Mandarin Orange
Carrots
Onions
Tomatoes
Vinegar
Garlic
Sugar
Spices
Before I get cooking, I have some questions for the pros:
1. I am probably gonna have like 20 habs. I have no idea on how much of what to use (grams, cups, etc) so any advice based on the list would be appreciated. I want the habs to be the largest amount and obviously, spices to be the smallest.
2. What kinda vinegar should I use in this sauce. With the mandarins, should I be using an apple cider vinegar?
3. What kind of spices have you used successfully in your sauces? Cumin, Cracked Pepper, Corriander? Just curious because I am not sure what seasonings to incorporate.
4. Do you use canned mandarin oranges? Do you strain and drain or use the juice?
I really appreciate any advice you seasoned pros can give. Help me out pepper people!
