It's also good with roast pork. MY WIFE and I glaze pork with pepper jelly.

Got about 20 jalapenos from the garden, any best way to make it into hot sauce? Googling it, the first three recipes all seem to be the same without any fermentation. ( I'd like to avoid fermentation anyways because :effort: )

Jalapenos are delicious when dried and crushed into flakes. I have like a $20 dehydrator and just cut them lengthwise and let them run overnight.

I also have a tiny food processor that is marked for pepper use only that I use to grind them up when they are dried out.

I've never really made any sauces.

My process is:
Freeze as they ripen.
Thaw it all when you are ready to make sauce.
Dice, saute with small amount of oil, a lot of garlic. Just slightly cooked down to where garlic is golden color.
Blend with vinegar, salt.

Other ingredients people use are onion, carrot, various fruit like mango.

Fermentation always seemed too unpredictable to me, I haven't tried it.

I’ve been playing around with a serious eats recipe:
-1 lb peppers, roasted
-1 tbsp salt
-2 tbsp honey
-1 tbsp lime juice
-1 cup vinegar

Super easy and has been tasty so far. Right now I use a majority of jalapeños, 1/2 deseeded, and then throw in 2 unseeded habs for some more heat. My next batch I’m going to add in some garlic and decrease the honey a tad.

This is pretty much the same recipe I keep seeing so might as well give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestions!

It looks like I'm going to have a lot of Thai dragons and habaneros this year. Last year I had a ton of fiery hot habs and I made the NosmoKing's mango hab sauce. It turned out great, but I'm more of a savory hot sauce fan.

I just half-assed a Sambal Oelek-esque (dragons, onion, vinegar, garlic, and fish sauce) from a youtube that turned out better than expected, but what I'm really hunting for is something like El Yucateco Black Label. Yes I'm willing to try smoking peppers, anyone run across something like that?

I'm watching a bunch of Hot Ones episodes for the first time. I realize they are filming a show and these wings are probably cold and maybe even hours old but drat half the time it sounds like they are eating potato chips. I've never had wings that crispy that weren't dry as hell.

I should really get off my rear end and learn to make wings on my smoker. I live in a hot wing dead zone. Literally my only option, besides the shittiest wings ever from pizza chains, is BW3's and after they got rid of their discount wings on Tuesday it's just not worth it. Last time I ordered takeout wings from them it was like a dollar a wing and even though I asked for the wings wet there was barely any sauce.

What everyone's favorite "extremely hot" sauce? Stuff in the league of Da Bomb, Mad Dog 357, Blaire's ____ Death, etc.

I have the standards: El Yuc, Secret Aardvark, Hot Ones Chipotle, Hot Ones Habanero, etc, but I want something more intense in my lineup.

I have to buy more Aardvark anyway, so I was gonna throw something else in the cart.

Chili Klaus > Hot Ones.

I can't even begin to imagine what these American celebrities would do if they popped a whole fresh super hot in their mouth and had to chew for awhile.

I just noticed that there are a few eps of Hot Ones where they did a collaboration, I'll have to check those out.

I remember finding his channel a few years before hot ones was a thing and even with a huge language barrier it is incredibly entertaining. You don't need to know Danish to understand most of what is being said. :supaburn:

I have a sauce called Blueberry Plague from PepperNorth. It's easily one of my hottest sauces, even hotter than Da Bomb (not the beyond insanity version). I hated it at first but then tried it on some mild, squidgy cheese (similar to queso fresco) and it changed my mind about that sauce.

20 garden jalapenos worth of hot sauce:



I wasn't expecting much from this in regards to taste but... it actually tastes fantastic and I haven't even let it sit for 2 weeks like suggested. Like better than anything jalapeno related that I've had. If/when I make it again I would probably cut the salt by 1/2-1/3rd but not a giant issue. I thought this would make enough to share with two other people, but it made a lot less than I thought.

Edit: Turns out maybe I shouldn't have seeded the jalapenos with my thumb nail. Skin underneath it has been burning for hours :negative:

FYI, jalapenos washed, dried, and put in a tupperware will last a long time in the refrigerator and be as crisp as the day you picked them. I've kept them for several weeks with no problems.

Also here's my Mayan Habanero and Orange Scotch Bonnet harvest this year. I used a bunch already before I took the picture and there's another 1/3 that amount still waiting to ripen.

Blair's Mega Death trip report: surprisingly delicious for as spicy as it is. Definitely a once-in-a-while sauce, and given that I think it's worth the price.

1. Hot Ones Last Dab
2. Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition

99. Da Bomb

These are the only mega hot sauces I've purchased. Stay away from Da Bomb, it's horrible. The other 2 taste pretty good (357 is the hottest one if that matters)

I think Beyond Insanity has extra extract in it that gives it a chemical taste that people don't like.

That's just second hand though, I could be wrong.

That looks awesome.

I always use nitrile gloves when working with any kind of pepper, mainly because I don't want to rub my eyes later by accident.

My mom cut some hot jalapenos or seranos one time and got severe contact dermatitis and couldn't move her hands for a few days. Apparently it's known as "Hunan hand" syndrome. :kingsley:

Yea I'm going to have to get some gloves or something, I've got another 20 jalapenos and want to make some Prik Nam Pla with them. ( Going to leave some seeds, but not all of them. ) It got even weirder later, the senses to heat/cold felt like it kind of flip flopped for a few days. Holding a cold bottle of water felt like it was burning my hand. It's fine now though, weird!
