I’ve meant to try a sweeter “fruity” version for awhile. Finally processed some yesterday. Started out with about a 6 week old 3.5% brine Yellow Scotch Bonnet ferment. (One was used at 4 weeks for my Jamaican Fire sauce)
For the mango flavoring I used about a cup of this Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Mango. Super low sugar and straight mango flavor. No hint of cranberry. If u you ou do low sugar for any reason and haven’t tried this line of drinks you should they have pineapple, grape and cherry versions too
To give it a more pronounced mango flavor I added about a dropper and a half of Oooflavors Ripe Mango. This company has an INSANE selection of flavorings. I also just bought pineapple and corn tortilla flavor.
Also added around 2 cups of brine and 1/4 cup white vinegar along with 4T Splenda and 1/4t xanthan. Mixed multiple times in the Vitamix while adjusting taste. The Vitamix works so well no need to strain. PH 3.4 on the finished sauce which is exactly what the PH of the finished ferment was. Invited over a buddy for taste testing prior to bottling the next day.
This came out better than expected. My friend has tried all my batches and this is now his top favorite sauce. It’s slightly tangy sweet with mango followed by a pronounced fiery finish. What started as a whim will now be a permanent add to the rotation. May test on some wings soon. Thanks for looking!
