Hi all,
I make a habanero sauce and have been following the same recipe for
years. My last batch had a problem that has stumped me. About 6 of the
40 bottles that I made had an exploding problem. After two or three
months, a bottle that was used regularly would blow the cap off when
unscrewed. The contents acted like it was carbonated. It fizzed up
like a shaken soft drink. I have never refrigerated the bottles before,
so these were not. Most of them were inside, so were not exposed to
extreme temps. I have no idea what caused this. I'm afraid to open a
bottle. Has this happened to anyone else? What could have caused it?
Ingredients in order of quantity; habs, onion, vinegar, lime juice,
garlic, rum, honey.
Thanks,
Kenny
