I would like to make a yellow hot sauce with yellow pods form the pepper
patch.  I'll be mixing cumari (my favorite), fatalii, lemon drop, and yellow
jalapenos (yes, yellow jals do exist).  In order to keep it yellow, I was
thinking of putting corn in, rather than the usual carrots, etc.  I want to
add some thing yellow to cut the heat a little, and for flavor, like carrots
are used in hab sauce.  I think the corn flavor would be OK.  Is this a good
idea, bad idea or what?  Are there any risks with the corn spoiling or
anything like that?  I always add enough lime juice and or vinegar to get
the pH down low.  Besides corn, what else would be a good yellow additive
for hot sauce?
