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]

I have no idea what I’m doing! I just threw some random stuff in there and probably too many habaneros (8). I’ll blend at the end of the month and let you know. Lol [Reply]

I followed your advice and threw a bunch of shit in a mason jar! Onion, garlic, habanero, a jalapeño (had a spare), some bell pepper and carrot. [Reply]

TL;DW - Fresno peppers, peaches, red onion (will likely add a hab or 2 to up the heat)
Yeah the fresno is about the equal of jalapeno on the Scoville scale. Might need to kick it up a bit with a few Habs.
I am getting bids on removing a 36in diameter Pin Oak right square in middle my backyard. It completely shades the backyard and makes a garden impossible. I miss fresh tomato vegis and Peppers.
My wife keeps a couple of potted Thai peppers. She will take an empty wine bottle place TP, red onion. garlic and some stuff I don't what it is. fill with apple cider vinegar. then blend for a Thai pepper sauce. [Reply]

I'm actually struggling to find Fresno's here so am subbing with red jalapenos.
Also, I'm giving a bottle to my neighbor who's peach trees are hanging over my fence that I'm yielding from. I don't know them super well, so don't want to light them up too much. [Reply]

How do you strain after blending? What are you using? [Reply]

Instacart type in the search for a specific pepper, take note of who they deliver from and find nearest to get in-store or just have them delivered if preferred.
I tried to find Scotch Bonnets to no avail this way. I finally just typed fresh peppers to see who had. Doing that I saw that Sprouts carry Fresno's if you have in Illinois. Also, Whole Foods carry a variety of Peppers. [Reply]

I just use a strainer into a Pyrex measuring cup then pour through a funnel into the bottles. Something like a rubber spatula helps press the mixture through the strainer.

We use Instacart every weekend for groceries. Our drivers wouldn't know a Fresno pepper from from a cantaloupe. Most times we end up with a handful of things we didn't order and missing stuff that we did.
There's a Sprouts by the Home Depot I go to so I'll try swinging through there one of these days. [Reply]
