Over the weekend I decided to experiment making some of my own hot sauce. Under the expert guidance of Lissa's Dad and an old High School buddy I dove head first into the game.
First step? Wegman's for hot peppers.
I decided to go for medium heat, so I used a mix of Jalapeno, Serrano, Cherry Bomb & Banana peppers. I added some carrots for sweetness, minced garlic & onion plus some fresh squeezed limes, Kosher salt & organic Apple Cider Vinegar.
My hot sauce mash!
The mash after sitting out covered in cheese cloth. At this point I decided to bottle some of the mixture. I'll let the rest work with the vinegar for a week. The longer it sits, the better the flavor.
Bottled & ready to sample! Lissa will be my guinea pig & try some of this experimental batch live on the air at 8a. Can't wait to get some input.
