Home made is good but there will always be room in my selection for a good veriety of hot sauce. Cheap classics, home made and even designer for want of a better word.
It's not like I'm buying a dozen hot sauces on a Friday night, so price is not too bigger issue for me. Hey I even splash out every now and then and buy a Rib Eye steak instead of sausages.

I've been hearing good things about Jason's Fire Fusion sauces ever since he started up a couple years ago. He used to grow most of his own peppers but has since obtained rug rodents and had to move to a place with more house and less land.
His sauces concentrate on flavor rather than heat, but here's a review of his 'Instant Death' sauce, the hottest.

My wild chili pequin bush is frigging loaded with little red peppers and I am trying to pick all of them for another ferment process to make more hot sauce.
It gets tiresome fast. Maybe I will be through picking this time tomorrow. Worth |

My pequin bush just want go. It's about a 1-1/2' tall with about 6 peppers with nothing flowering. . Maybe I should transplant it to a an expansion joint in the driveway.I'm germinated some tepins right hoping they'll get a head start for spring. I just love the taste of those light berries.

Dale I think. It lives in partial shade and has lived through several freezes down 10 degrees. And neglected most of the time. It is 2 1/2 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Could be a chilitepin Worth IMG_20161125_4528.jpg IMG_20161125_57870.jpg Last edited by Worth1; November 25, 2016 at 02:42 PM. |

Local for me is Fire Dragon Cillies. He grows his own and makes a few very nice on the hotter side of sauces.
If I'm looking for flavour I go for Culleys, which is also a local for me. Here is a tour through Fire Dragon' poly tunnels.

Here is a fermenting experiment going on with the wild pepper red Habanero Jamaican hot red and yellow.
Most of the time I ferment whole or sliced. This time I ran it through a blender and added the salt. In less than 24 hours it is starting to build pressure. When it is completed I will strain and add other ingredients so it won't separate and bottle. The stuff is hotter than all get out. Worth IMG_20161126_47149.jpg |

Does the hot sauce bible have any information on fermenting or is it all vinegar based?
Does it cover how to keep the sauce from stratifying? Worth Last edited by Worth1; December 4, 2016 at 11:59 AM. |
