Over the summer, I worked very hard to create a base for a hot sauce. By base I mean a not very spicy, sauce that would give the hot sauce it's flavor. I built a fermentation chamber out of a straw, a paper towel, some electric tape, and a mason jar. I then slaved away at the food processor until I had the perfect sauce. Mildly spice already, with a hefty cumin taste and a striking smokiness.
I ordered my Bhut Jolokia peppers, which by the way, are the hottest pepper in the world. A Habeñero pepper runs anywhere between 100,000 and 350,000 scoville units. Bhut Jolokia peppers average 1,000,000 scoville units. So you get a basic understanding of how hot they are.
My hot sauce is insane! I finally got the peppers (after having to re-order them) almost a month and a half after ordering them. People who have put about half a drop of it on the tip of a tooth pick, rolled it on their tongue, and preceded to almost hyperventilate and cry. So it is not to be messed with.

I used an empty Frank's bottle for my sauce. This is one of the big bottles though, my hand can barely wrap around the base of the bottle. |
Anyone who wants some can shoot me an email at liammyster1@gmail.com I can put it into little glass bottles and such |
You remember how I said when I tried it the first time it wasn't too hot? I tried it again and it pretty much almost killed me.I guess the second time I had more.
ReplyDeleteThat was just the pepper paste. The real sauce will actually kill you. I thought i was gunna choke to death or something when i tried it the first time.
