Hello everyone,
I am new to this list. I am also new to the pepper
world.
Last season I had a friend that had three Habanero
plants in his garden and he didn't appreciate the heat
of the pepper. I fell in love with these peppers. I
pickled a bunch and eat them with beans and cornbread.
I also experimented with making different types of
hot sauce (mostly carrot based.)
To get to the subject, this weekend I felt creative.
and I think a discovered a process that I have not
seen anyone else talk about.
First the recipe.
One large onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic
Six large fresh tomatoes chopped
1 cup of ketsup (adds sweet taste)
10-12 Habaneros (nice and hot)
salt to taste
two tablespoons of vinegar
I cooked all of the ingredients in a large sauce pan
until onion is soft. I then took the cooked
ingredients and transfered them into a blender. I
blended until I could not blend anymore.
This is where it gets cool. I have a metal mesh
strainer that is large, but the mesh is very thin. I
put the strainer over another sauce pan and poured my
blended material into the strainer. I let all of the
"juice" strain out into the sauce pan.
I put the juice that strained out into my hot sauce
containers and use it like any one would use Tobasco
sauce. I saved the thicker material that did not
strain through my strainer and put it in separate
containers. I use it like a spread, on sandwiches,
toast type crackers, etc.
Two products out of one recipe. Both products are
very tasty and can be used in many ways.
Hope I gave someone a new idea.
