hey all... i started this from scratch...and finished it tonight....


started with some scotch bonnets



cleaned and stems removed...cut in half... yes i left seeds in it... i will either strain them later or liquify them when the final mash is used for hot sauce



in the blender and ready to be chopped



chopped and ready to put into the jar... danger danger Will Smith, danger danger...dont put head over blender when you open lid.. cough cough..lol



in the jar, added one tablespoon of pickling salt, shook... added one more tablespoon into top of peppers in jar after shaking,capped and boiled for 20 minutes...let it ferment



hot sauce made and bottled in approx. 4 oz jelly jars

ingredients: roasted garlic,onions,scotch bonnets,apple cider vinegar,salt,lime juice and a secret ingredient.lol

opened the first jar to taste test

was salty when i first opened it... let it sit for awhile and mixed it around..not so salty now

added a couple more teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and now it tastes like awesome hot sauce...

its got a creeper hotness to it. tried a couple of drops, a little heat right away then it hits you..the burn lasts about 10 minutes in my mouth

Looks nice! Got my peppers planted too.

So was the tequila the "secret ingredient"? Or is it Tums for after?
