hey, its legal if you claim to be makin your own fuel....hinty hinty hinty

yup you apply for a permit from the BATF and that takes about a month to get a lil yellow piece of paper that says you can make ethanol to use as fuel. Then you keep track of how much you produce and you can get a tax credit to....the permit is free as long as you produce less than 10,000 gallons a year..
 
I like them flip top bottles you got!!! As for pressurizing them in a cooker....I don't know but I would think that the rubber seal wouldn't take the heat..... Kind of like the plastic caps that I use on woozy bottles...I hot pack them and flip them upside down to sterilize the cap....the sauce looks great too!!!
 
I just made five 16oz jars out of 3.5lbs of orange/peach hab concentrate. I used some of it already to make an experimental hot sauce. What's in it? Orange/peach habs, goji berry, cinnamon, mint leaves, a dried basil blend from my garden, agave nectar, sugar, kosher salt. I'm also using one of the swing-top bottles i got at The Container Store for this sauce. Also had some left over for about 10-12oz extra that i'm canning with the concentrate and added extra hab to to fill it out. Preliminary taste test was good and kind of unique. :D

the sauce is looking good!
looks like two different kinds though by the pics, do you go through this much hot sauce or do you also give/sell it to others ?

I do go through quite a bit, but what you see there is only 1 kind of sauce and 5 jars of concentrate. The goji-habanero stuff is the darker one; that's the sauce.
 
I think the future Mrs. is gonna be irked.

I'm making a fresh batch of tomato sauce to can and have later.

I kinda put in 3 whole aji amarillo chiles in it, not knowing they're in the cayenne/tabasco heat level.

To me this is good, as i love the heat of the cayenne. Lately though, she's been saying things like, "Ya know, not every meal has to have peppers in it."

YES IT DOES!

;)

Man this better be a good sauce or she'll kick my butt for making so much. :) I should clear about 6-7 jars.

tomatoes, bell peppers, kalamata olives, capers, onion, aji amarillos, 3 basils, oregano, "baby bella" mushrooms, etc. YUM!
