making ghost pepper hot sauce

[Kype]

i fermented 5 ghost peppers with roasted garlic, red onion, and sweet red peppers. in a salt water brine for 3 weeks. 

boil, then simmer the peppers and brine for one hour.

blend to a liquid.

add a splash of bourban and tomatoe paste. and boil and simmer again. 

blend again. 

bottle. dont forget to wear gloves and all my boiling was done outside. it is potent.

i bottle it in very small amounts and give it away at thanksgiving. people ask for it every year. no one has the same taste buds. some people like the heat. some dont.

fermenting does mellow the capsaician. after 3 weeks it has a sour/tangy smell. and its nothing compared to just biting into a ghost pepper. i took a bite of a ghost and it felt like i got a shot of novicane from the dentist. when i do now, i get more of the flavors from the pepper. it has a great taste before the heat kicks in. which is about 30 seconds.

My peppers are the one thing banging in the garden this year, for me there is never enough heat, usually just make a blend of all peppers dried and don't use store bought flakes.

Want to try sauce this year.

Yours sounds and looks great

Too hot for me, but to each their own....once was tricked into eating a whole Carolina Reaper pepper. Holy smokes....

I like medium heat...cherry & jalapeños. Anything above, too hot for me

I think you would like these Nick, I did when I used to grow them. They didn't burn my tongue and taste buds!

First time we made it we set up shop in my buddies' kitchen, had to don Scuba gear to finish it.

Our wives came home and thought we were nuts, until they got a good whiff of the peppers!
