IMG_286.jpgThe sauce and remaining solids from 7 lbs of mixed chili peppers, a few pounds of onions and 1 lb of garlic, fermented for a week.

Add vinegar, liquefy, strain and boil for 5 minutes.

Wow Brain. Nice.

Have you tasted it yet? I bet it's very good. Nice job.

In previous years I've mixed in a bunch of sweet red peppers (Carmen), as well as more watery hots like Hungarian Wax. This year was straight up chilies, I think 4 varieties. 60% had turned red and the other 40% was in all stages of ripening. They all had serious heat.

I could have let it ferment for longer, but the off-gassing is nasty. It really only needs 5 days to get the flavor going.

And yes, it's pretty hot.

The fun thing is to figure out what to do with the solids, which are also hot as shit.

 

I hope you will post what you do with the solids.

I Love Hot Sauce - I Truly believe Peppers Are Good For The Heart and Cardiovascular health !

Enjoy!

 

Hard to beat good ol  Genuine Louisiana Hot Sauce. Just love that stuff.

I dare you to eat all of that at once!

Good for you,  Mr.  BrainK for cooking up those Peppers  into the Crazy Sauce laugh

It is always exciting to read about Zoners'  creative projects,  whether culinary stuff,  making a Chicken coop,  or just repairing an Axe.

I like seeing that inspirational Stuff.

I make a lil hot sauce most yrs. i use a press after par boiling the whole peppers for 75 secs.

puree the fruit tips to add to the bottles. then puree the rest for a spicy chutney.(seeds and all)

Added cucumber, basil, tomato and zuccini last year to that, was a great pasta sauce.

peppers are a super food for cardio and immune benefit!

Cheers!

 

Looks like you've got a good system going. I tried making a hot pepper mash ferment a couple years ago, it didn't taste very good. Still not sure if it was the peppers or if I just didn't like the fermented results (it didn't taste or smell rotten, just not delicious). Since that experiment fail I just do stovetop sauce. I have some Hatch chilies earmarked for a salsa verde this week. 

Big Fan of Cholula and Tapatio !

Fall is a good time for planting bulbs.  Around here, squirrels dig them up as fast as you plant them.  So, plant bulbs and then cover them with the solids.  Squirrel be gone.
