PS. I would like to add mango or peach to my sauce if any of you can point me to a recipe on this thread. May not be able to buy either of those that are decent this late in the year though.
 
We enjoyed this hot peach salsa from a shop on the strip in Berlin, OH. Amish country. It had peaches & tomatoes in it, besides the other usual players. But in amounts that complimented the peaches. Great on tacos & burritos.
 
Dammit. I just put a splash of the super hot Peppa sauce on one of my sloppy joe sammiches. Guess I got some on my finger & wiped my right eye...the bell's palsy side. Dang, that burns! Just a small splash on my sammich, & it's a heat that builds in short order, but not that bad in small splashes.
 
mods, this is borderline spam, but it is for the American Cancer society
if against the rules, feel free to buy some then delete

Buddy of mine.


This Missouri boy had to come down to Louisiana and show them how to make Louisiana Hot Sauce! Took World Champion award for Novice Division, Louisiana Style Hot sauce with my Ghost of Bubba's Bayou Burn at the Louisiana Hot Sauce Expo. Also took Second in Novice Carribean Style sauce with my Jamaican Jammin Juice, and 3rd in Novice Fruit Based sauce with my Goblin Apple Goo. A Trifecta for Death Spiral Pepper Sauce Company!

Proceeds from sales go to American Cancer Society. Our family is a Team in the local Relay For Life event for American Cancer Society. I do not have a Pay Pal account - they are very anti-firearm, and were unhappy with my other dealings as a buyer/seller/trader in militaria. I accept personal checks, money orders, or good old folding green stuff. The best way is to send a personal check made out to the American Cancer Society – that way, American Cancer Society will send you a receipt you can use as a tax deduction.
 
Early start on peppers this year. I'll probably have pods for folks who want them in the fall



When did you start w/seeds? I started mine in early January and my plants are nowhere near the size of yours.


Started germinating on Jan 5th. I use a heat pad and some dome for germinating. I think the tent is making a huge difference this year. There's way more light and it's much warmer. Ideal conditions for peppers. Plus I've added an automated watering/feeding system with a pump that fills and circulates the tray with water/nutes for ten minutes a day and then gravity drains it back down into the reservoir. I also added an overflow so I don't have to worry about the tray filling all the way up ad flooding over. Using this system, the plants get fed at the exact time every day, the temp is constant, there's a fan for food airflow. I think all these variables contribute to the early success of the plants. I recommend a similar system if it's something you think you'll continue to do over the years.
 
Hey guys! My chilis are just turning red now, and habs are starting to form on my plants. I at one of the chili's this wkend and HOT. Anyway, I'm pretty excited to harvest soon and make some sauce.


Must be nice to have a year around growing season. Congrats!
 
I'm itching to get an early start on chilies and tomatoes this year too, and it's supposed to be 80 degrees here today! But this is north Texas and I know we can have all the trees in bloom in Feb and get a massive snowy cold front in March, so I guess I will have to hold off a bit. I need to prep the plot I grow them in anyway! :D
 
I just recently got all my seeds started indoors. It's still snowing hard here with a good two feet on the ground still. I'm not growing any super hots this year, but I do have a couple interesting varieties. Anyone have any experience with Datil, Yatsufusa, or Hungarian Hot Wax peppers?
 
I have several Datil plants this year...they are awesome. Great fruity flavor with lots of heat! Don't expect much production, this is a pretty late start for a C. Chinese variety like that.

Guess I'll jump in here. I just made my first batch of hot sauce using home grown, dried jalapenos and some store bought cayennes. I'm gonna let it chill in the fridge for a couple days before I strain and bottle it.

Hopefully it tastes good. Not looking for massive heat.
 
I need some help!

A couple of months ago, I took about three scorpion peppers, two ghost peppers, and a bunch of habaneros, along with a couple serranos. I blender-ized them, added some garlic and onion and a dab of honey.

Now that it's fermented out, it's HOT. Oh, I don't mean it's hot- I mean the military can use them as a nuclear weapon.

For one batch about a month ago, I fermented some tomatillo salsa (salsa verde) from tomatillos at the Mexican market in S. Texas, and added a tablespoon or so of this pepper paste, and it was fantastic.

I'm thinking now about fermenting some carrots and making a "Marie Sharp's" Belizean sauce (my favorite).

But I need help to know what to do with a quart of this fermented pepper mash. I haven't strained it yet, so I know there will be a lot less. But it's so HOT that a little will go a long way.

I'm back in the Northwoods and don't have access to things like mangoes, at least not yet, or cilantro but I want to get started on at least one or two hot sauces.

The paste (did I mention it is HOT????) has some distinct tartness from fermentation, and I don't want it overly vinegar-y, but am not opposed to adding some vinegar if needed.
 
Yea, I'd cut it with vinegar. It'll be a lot easier to strain that way too. The solution to pollution is dilution. I'm no expert though. Looking forward to other comments.

I use a pressure cooker and then immersion blender to make instant hot sauce. Might not produce nuances you get from fermentation, but you can go from raw peppers to a simple hot sauce in a bottle in about 15 minutes. Maybe for pilot batches :)

Add sliced peppers, cover with cider vinegar, about 3 minutes at 15psi, remove lid when pressure is gone, blend, strain.
 
@Tiber_Brew has told me to cut it with vinegar as well, and I'm good with that for some of it for sure.

I'm going to get a little batch of sauerkraut going today, and I use some of the liquid from sauerkraut to start pickles and pickled carrots. I love the flavor from these fermented veggies, and will also get some kimchee going again once my Korean pepper flakes come from Amazon.
 
make a monster 16 quart batch of hot sauce, can it and give away as gifts..I usually give away most of my sauce because I make so much

I boil,up some sweet bell peppers ( red, orange or yellow) in some vinegar, blend that up and start adding you super hot sauce to taste. Works great. You can dial in the heat level you want.
