Ended up fermenting a bunch of jalapeņos, garlic, and a serrano or two for a week and a half, then blended it up with cilantro and scallion. Was really nice, a bunch of people raved about it at the tailgate we hosted. I like the idea of combining ferments with fresh stuff right at the end, gives things a nice flavor.

However many peanuts and arbol peppers you see in there, about 4-5 garlic cloves, fried in olive oil


Blended with water, more oil, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, 2 raw cloves of garlic, 2-3 cloves (sticks), salt.

aww hell yeah


Spicy, garlicky, creamy, and slightly tart.

Looks awesome! Does it have a strong peanut flavor from the roasted nuts? Seems like it would also go great with Vietnamese or Thai food. Maybe try some scallions too?

I finally used up the bottles of rear end Kickin' Carolina Reaper and Dave's Ghost Pepper sauce I got over the winter and I"m in the market for some new "extreme" sauces. I noticed my local World Market carries Bravado Ghost Pepper and Blueberry sauce, which sounds interesting, but I'm struggling to think of appropriate dishes for it. I'll put regular hot sauce on pretty much anything, Mexican food, chili, hamburgers, sandwiches, etc. Where do you guys like to use fruit-based hot sauces?

Heartbreaking Dawns does a lot of super hot/fruit based sauces and they're all delicious. The 1498 Scorpion Pepper sauce is really good on fried eggs.

I never got much fruity flavor from the Bravado Ghost Pepper & Blueberry. It's a little sweet, but I usually put it on meat*

I'd recommend Torchbearer's Garlic Reaper sauce if you're in the mood for more carolina reaper based hot sauces, it's very very good.

Thoroughly enjoying these two I picked up while passing through Vermont. The Dark Swizzle is a rum-infused, Bermuda inspired ghost pepper sauce. The other is a garlicky habanero.

I'm going to have to try their other stuff

I also got a bottle of the Demon Reaper sauce, but found it more simple inferno than getting any sort of flavor.

I picked up some Trader Joe's Italian Bomba sauce. Uses calabrian chiles. I cook with dried calabrians sometimes, so figured I'd try this stuff. It's very mild, clocking in below something like a fresno, but the fermented flavor and texture are nice. Will be using this in place of the dried chiles for things like carbonara, breakfast sandwiches, stuff like that. Only thing I don't like, and maybe this is the case with all hot things packed in oil, is that you're making GBS threads fire the next day. Very rarely ever experience that with fresh chiles, vinegar-based sauces, etc. Or it might be because I ate a quarter cup of it with dinner...

Awake and unreal, off to nowhere
Tried a bunch of new sauces over the past month or two, nothing I would add to my must have on hand at all times list but still some good stuff.

Bought the Queen Majesty Hot Sauce sample pack on Amazon. ( Be warned, they are 2oz bottles. ) They say the sauces are hand made, I don't know exactly what that means but it is the nearest in consistency/thickness to the home made sauce I make myself. My favorite of the three was probably the Red Habanero and Black Coffee even if I didn't really get a ton of coffee flavor from it. All three were pretty subtle with their flavors.

Dirty Dicks - Tastes ok, but way too sweet for me. Reminds me more of a BBQ sauce than hot sauce.

Bought the Humble House Variety Pack on Amazon

Habanero & Aji Amarillo Sweet Heat Fruit Sauce - Again too sweet for me, got kind of a sweet and sour thing going on. Zero heat for something that has habanero's in it.
Ancho & Morita Smokey Tamarind Sauce - My favorite of the three, tastes like a better smokier version of McDonalds BBQ sauce. Again zero heat.
Guajillo & Red Jalapeno Aged Tangy Garlic Sauce - Zero heat but pretty tasty, "tangy" is probably it's best descriptor.

Hell Fire Detroit Habanero Hot Sauce - I eat a lot of habanero hot sauces, but this is easily the hottest sauce I've ever tried personally. More of a habanero mash than a sauce, it's very chunky with a lot of seeds. Very heavy on the habanero but overall I like it.

Marie Sharp's Smoked Habanero Pepper Sauce - Tastes like lighter fluid, it's getting tossed. Not as good as El Yucateco Black :colbert:

I can't speak to all the Queen Majesty sauces, but the Red Habanero Black Coffee sauce they do is probably... top 3 for me, easily.

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
Gotta hit World Market and get more Dave's Ghost Pepper.

Melinda's ghost pepper is nice but the heat is fairly mild compared to the ghost pepper moniker. I have to douse my food with it to get it hot. Also I think they stole the recipe from the lady who made it.

I would maybe like to try Bravdo's Black Garlic Carolina Reaper, but for my personal taste I really don't care for sweet sauces so I'm not sure the Bravado pack would be for me.

And I agree with Cool Corn, if/when I would buy anything again from Queen Majesty I'd probably just get a full bottle of Red Habanero Black Coffee. The Scotch Bonnet Ginger and Jalapeno Lime sauces were also good, my only issue with the pack was the 2oz bottles. So you are kind of paying a bit extra to try the sauces and the pic was slightly misleading and I didn't read the fine print to see they were 2oz bottles so it's my fault, but still was mildly disappointed when I got it.

Speaking of greater Boston, I just picked up two bottles from Spicy Shark which is over the border in NH. Original and Caribbean Reef Shark. Both are very good and don't bury the flavor of the peppers the way a lot of sweeter sauces do. I want to track down their Tiger Shark and Megalodon sauces to see what the upper end of their heat is like.

Longest I've had it in the fridge was 1 week, 2 wide mouth mason jars, lol, tasted fine. It's like peanut butter with vinegar so, I feel it keeps better than tomato based salsas.

Also 3 bags, holy crap... what you see in that pan was enough to fill 3 mason jars, since you add water and vinegar when blending


Almost filled the blender.

You could make different batches and experiment, my mom liked it with a 3 to 1 parts of water and white vinegar, I preferred apple cider and lime juice, but we both liked heavy on the garlic.

I'm pretty fond of that stuff but yeah, it isn't hot at all.

I grabbed some Tattoo Creamy Togarashi. It's got a bit of a bite to it but it's not particularly hot. It is essentially the sauce you'd get on a spicy tuna roll, which is just fine with me.

I've a pound of habaneros from the farmers market, any fun hot sauce recipes that you've had success with? Current plan is to ferment with pineapple and garlic for 1.5 weeks then blend with guava, but am open up better ideas.

Surplus of habaneros, you say?



Just this week I made NosmoKing's recipe for Mango Habanero Sauce. All credit goes to NosmoKing.

http://goonswithspoons.com/Mango_Habanero_Hot_Sauce



Minor changes to the recipe were that I only used 3/4 lbm of habaneros from my garden, and I removed the seeds during prep. I also used two ripe peaches in place of the mango.



Starting with the carrots, onions, garlic, and then habaneros in the pan. Then added the fruit and liquids until good and simmered.



Blended everything from the pan into a fine sauce.



The sauce is a tropical combination of sweet and and heat. If you are sharing it with normal people, consider reducing the number of habaneros, as it can turn out pretty strong.



Highly recommended.

The farmer's market was kind to me this year.

Not hot sauce per se, but for the first time since high school I got to pickle some peppers. I put some onions in this time, and I am pretty excited for them to mature a bit. Dunno what I will do with the reapers/habeneros other than look at them though.
Wore gloves but must have had a hole, my left thumb is burning so this post cost me physical pain to write (as all should).
