Report back after you try it... That is one of the greatest things about this site-honesty about results.I'm wondering if doing a short ferment with habs will produce the same effect. Won't be the same flavor profile though.
If I get time. I'll do the batch of hab mango I've had fermenting for 10 days now. Been wanting to use the champion juicer I bought awhile ago.Report back after you try it... That is one of the greatest things about this site-honesty about results.
Looks great Steve! How is the mango flavor post ferment? Relative to sweetness in my SF version I used the mango flavoring and some artificial sweetener. You might try just adding some cane sugar to yours.So, I went ahead and broke out the champion juicer.

And drained the brine from the habaneros and mango ferment.

And ran it through the juicer. This didn't take 5 minutes.

The pulp is virtually dry. The juice is nice and smooth. I took a taste. Ouch! Hot stuff! I was surprised that the ph was 3.6. After adding the vinegar. It dropped to 3.4.

Added 1 cup brine, 1.5 cup vinegar, tsp each of salt, onion, and garlic power.
Then, I added 1/8 tsp of xanthan gum to a cup of water. And mixed it with a emmersion blender so it is smooth and lump free. Then added that mixture to the hot sauce 1 tsp at a time. Mixing with the immersion blender each time to ensure a well blend. after 5 tsp's I was happy with the blend. Tasted again. Nice flavor and heat.
I could probably cut this further to give it a milder heat. But, I'm good with this. The profile has good flavor. But not as much sweetness as Jeff's blend. I might add some pineapple juice to part of it.
It was hot with a touch of mango flavor. Not strong. I'll add a touch of sugar. Probably won't need much. The mango/hab ratio was pretty close to 50/50.Looks great Steve!

I love a good straight scotch bonnet sauceAnother one of my favs is this Scotch Bonnet hot sauce. Had this bottle for some time now and is getting close to being done. It has a nice sweet hot taste to it. Got hooked on this stuff when my brother lived in Freeport Bahamas.
Sky Valley seems to make great sauces, so I can bet it's tasty. Try their Teriyaki sauce. Its my favorite and is not watery!So, Ann came home with 2 bottles of these.

It shows that red jalapenos are used.

They don't look the same. The smell is quite similar. The heat is pretty equal. But the heat/taste is a bit different. They are both good. But, I wouldn't call this a replacement for the Huy Fong brand. If I'd really need to pick between the two. It would be a hard go. The sky Valley brand is quite tasty.
I'll look. Thanks. This is the first time I've seen this brand. The store probably got some in due to being out of the other one.Sky Valley seems to make great sauces, so I can bet it's tasty. Try their Teriyaki sauce. Its my favorite and is not watery!
I'll check a few of our local Asian stores, and restaurant supply stores for you.Tried searching but didn't find anything.
We have just about finished our last bottle of sriracha.
With Sriracha basically unavailable, I'd like to make some. I tried once before, it was a delicious sauce, but it wasn't sriracha.
Anyone got a copy cat recipe they like?
Thanks!
P.s. previously I added 2% salt to fresh new Mexican red Chiles and a few cloves of garlic. Fermented for a few weeks and blended with some more fresh garlic, another 2% salt and some sugar (can't remember how much).
We have tried this brand. I like it. My wife not as much. But it tastes "latino" type flavor to me. Not Asian. Favor just isn't right.So, Ann came home with 2 bottles of these.

Would love to know how this is. It's a hefty price for sure, but if it's making sauce with $15/lb peppers or buying $11 bottles, it might be a toss up.Just out of curiosity I have been looking at the Sriracha that the original grower near me has been selling since the Huy Foods fiasco. I did know that they started making their own version and foodies preferred it nation wide. I did not know how hard it was to find it even living here. I did finally find it from Amazon and ordered 3 16 Oz bottles for $32. I was planning on making my own but now I will wait for the order and see how it stacks up to the original.
