The freezer is just about full of pods, so it is time to start making some sauces. The plum sauce is a return from last year and the Yellapeno is a new one.

I picked up an interesting combination of peppers, three that I would like to try to make a sauce with together, but I'm not sure.  They are red jalapenos, red Hatch chiles, and Jay's peach ghost scorpions.  I think those three with a couple fruits, some rice vinegar, some honey, and some herb or spice that makes you say hmmm could be great.  Then again, I am not sure about the Hatch in there.  I might just leave them out and roast & freeze them.  Thoughts?

This is my first year growing Hatch and I have been drying them all to use in chili, spice blends. I think they would be fine in a sauce from tasting them raw. I have never had a Jay's peach but I would ise them to kick ip the heat of the sauce if you want. I have some red jals in the freezer. They are going to get smoked and then sauced with cherries, toasted cumin, mexican chocolate and vinegar.

I made some infused oil tonight. The oil is Grapeseed and the pods are 'Bum's Hot Rod cross that was smoked then dehydrated and GM's Mystery Citrus.

The 8 oz woozy's are a great way to share and they have a wide enough neck to get the peppers in there.

I love the way the bleeding calyx looks in the bottle.

Did you heat them at all? I think I remember something about low heat making them infuse better.
