Entering the homemade hot sauce phase of my midlife spiral into total lameness.
I'm mostly wanting to explore different flavor combos and take more control over heat/consistently than what I'm getting off the shelf or Amazon. Thinking I may expand into fermenting other fruits and vegetables as well.
Anyone else making their own hot sauces and/or fermented foods? [Reply]
Started with a blueberry and blackberry habanero sauce. Feel I'm gambling a bit by leaving the seeds in the habs, not for the heat but maybe some possible bitterness from the seeds.
There is a guy on youtube named Brad Leone who is a pro chef that does a show called "it's alive". All fermented type foods. He is hilarious and the food content is great as well. [Reply]
I haven't made any in a couple years but I've used this https://www.allrecipes.com/video/396...riracha-sauce/ technique in the past with some peppers I grew in a whiskey barrel garden. I didn't use the same peppers as the recipe. I used Jals, Fresno and Habs. I haven't grown any pepper the last couple of years but if I did I would grow some Tabasco Peppers and use some of them as well. [Reply]

My next step is to grow my own peppers.
I've got my eye on a Fresno, garlic and tamari recipe but I could find Fresno's. [Reply]

He moved away and it saddens me. It was so good.
Couple guys in my homebrew club made some hot sauces for a party the other weekend. I was legit impressed by the depth of flavor they had.
I'm sure they're out there commercially with much less time and effort but I figured why not tinker around with making it myself. Plus I can send them as unsolicited gifts to all my friends and family on xmas/birthdays/divorces, etc. [Reply]
