I separated the peppers into pie tins and put them in my smoker for a couple hours. Not necessary, but just adds another layer of flavor.
For the Peach/habanero:
Saute peppers in a splash of oil, with onion and garlic, salt & pepper
Added can of sliced peaches in heavy syrup
about 1/2 cup of vinegar (ACV)
simmer together, then blend (blender of immersion stick blender)
Let cool for a couple days. reheat, reblend (taste and adjust seasoning), then bottle it up or pressure can
Red sauce
Saute peppers with garlic, onions, and a carrot (almost every hot sauce recipe calls for carrots added)
I added a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes w/ green chilis.
about 1/2 cup ACV. hen blended and reheated. I added about a cup or so of regular ketchup to smooth it out
Then cool for a couple days, reheat, reblend, adjust seasoning and bottle or can
I also just made a peach/apricot/habanero bbq sauce a few days ago. I used the canned fruit and fresh habanero peppers, and a bbq sauce recipe my dad made that I can't divulge(family secret)
Mixed all that together and cooked, then pressure canned. That will be a very good pork and rib glaze. Got some in the crock pot now on a few pieces of pork
A couple things I will add:
~I would do all this cooking outside if you can. The pepper fumes are serious business and will peel your sinuses
~Wear a double latex/nitrile glove on the hand you will be holding peppers with when chopping/cutting
~A habanero sauce can end up with a very pungent/bitter strong habanero flavor that turns some people off. That is the reason I suggest letting sauces sit in the fridge for a couple days. The first day I did not taste that flavor. After it had sat, it was quite noticeable. A bit of sugar added to the sauce will counter act the flavor
Nice! I'm going to try this out soon... Thanks!
no problem. Glad I could help. That will be a $50 royalty fee, please
You all have inspired me. I have jalapenos, Thai hot and Oriental peppers. I still have some papya frozen from Dec so ... I am going to include that too. This just looks too good not to try!!!
