I've ignored my herb garden for at least a month, been busy building an outdoor kitchen. picked a hat-full each of Tabasco peppers,dill,cinnamon basil and rosemary. put it all in a gallon jar with an onion,6 of my Meyer lemons squeezed, about a dozen garlic cloves and filled with 1/2 rice vinegar and 1/2 apple cider vinegar. debating on running it through the blender and filtering later and how long to let it sit and to refrigerate or not and keep in dark or light. any suggestions?
If you are making pepper sauce just let it sit on the counter. I leave mine on the kitchen counter all the time. If you are making hot sauce, I would use L2H's new hot sauce recipe. I did, however I do not have a side burner on my grill so I had to make it in the house. When he said it was like getting pepper sprayed, he was not lying. It does concentrate the flavor and tastes really good.
just finished blending it and it tastes good already, figure it will mix flavors faster, maybe I'll try cooking 1/2 of it as I have almost a full gallon to play with. also made a basil pesto sauce for pasta later tonite that came out great and so easy. 1 basil plant and I'm up to my ears with it, only problem is catepillars are eating it and the dog keeps peeing on it but can smell it from the pool. the outdoor double sink is working out great to clean garden stuff without worrying about splashing water and dirt around or bringing bugs in the house and cut the electric bill by 100$ a month by not heating up the house while cooking.
Hey there Triple Creek Reaper, I see you are from Black Hammock. When I was a little boy my dad would take me fishing on Lake Jessup. We always went to Black Hammock fish camp and rented an old cypress boat to put Dad's little outboard motor on, we would then troll for specks with some tiny little MirroLures. That was close to 60 years ago. After reading your post about fall gardening, I wanted to share a site from UF that has been helpful to me concerning vegetable gardening.

The old fish camp is still there, I believe it sold to a new owner. The are doing alot of advertising lately. Hey thanks for the link, I appreciate that. I like how it gives the varieties of plants you should buy.
