Here is my first attempt. A simple carrot based sauce with a white nectarine added for good measure.



It needs to cool and sit overnight before use, but the bit I tried before bottling was quite tasty, if rather potent.

Recipe please, carrot based hab sauce sounds great

I used this one: http://www.food.com/recipe/belizean-style-habanero...

I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out - it's got a decent burn to it

I might try another slightly toned down batch replacing 4-5 of the habs with a poblano.

Just received... it's going to be an "interesting" tasting session

I love Marie Sharp's Belizean hot sauce. Used to feast on pringles and pepper sauce when we escaped the jungle.

I am glad you mentioned Marie Sharp. Going to give this brand a go.

Two years later, Mrs Pints still curses me when I remind her of our trip there.

I also enjoyed their chocolate range.

New in the collection.
Random from TK Maxx - Zombie Gut Garnish.

2 x Marie Sharp. Both excellent.



On another note, does anyone mix sauces? Just a random thought I had when staring at a few almost empty bottles in the fridge.

I have acquired these:



Half a kilo of Habaneros (bought from the bloke who makes the Waha Wera sauce mentioned above). I'm going to have a go at making some Belizean style sauce this weekend. Stay tuned...

Made a large batch of this.

So damn good.

Excellent!

I did a 'proof of concept' habanero and fejoa sauce to see if the flavours work together. The recipe needs refinement, but I think it shows promise.

Found this today in Morrisons all all places.:


Went for the smokey naga and its good, really good. Heat wise is best described as it will make you cough on your first tester teaspoon.

Regards sauces of all variety, do people stick to the 'rules' on the bottle?

Ie, 'consume within X weeks' (usually 4 or 8).

Well keeping an eye for mold is one thing, but how do you know it's off by smell, assuming a hot sauce?

Most of them are vinager based and as such have no need to be kept in the fridge and keep for a long time. A vinegar based sauce of any kind will generally go last a couple of years

Thanks

If it has a best before date you can generally ignore that
If it has a use by date then dont go over that

I asked the owner of one of the chilli farm companies and he said they had to put the dates on by law, but that most sauces would last a considerable time - flavour could fade over time.
