Tips and Tricks
- The Ghost Pepper, also known as the Bhut Jolokia, is one of the most intense peppers in the world. Scoville Heat Units (SHU) measure a pepper’s heat level measurement of over 1 million SHU, which puts Ghost Peppers on another level.
- The hottest pepper in the world is just a seed away, but working with hotter peppers takes some special care. When handling hotter peppers it is important to wear gloves; the oils can get on your skin and cause burning, especially if you touch your face and eyes. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap after you are done processing.
- Far from your standard hot sauce fare, this exotically flavored and potent concoction is not for the faint-hearted.
FAQs
-
Is it necessary to ferment hot sauce?
Fermentation amplifies the flavor of hot sauce and makes it good for your gut. Fermentation of hot sauce takes roughly 5-7 days. The longer you ferment it, the more complex the flavor will be, but a week should suffice.
It’s not absolutely necessary to ferment hot sauce but it does make it last longer and taste better. -
How can you make shelf-stable hot sauce?
You will need a pH of 3.4 to prevent bacteria from thriving. The acidity creates an environment where bacteria cannot live. Use citrus fruits like lemons or limes, or a high-quality vinegar, to attain this balance.
-
How long will homemade hot sauce last?
The hot sauce contained in properly sterilized and canned jars should be shelf-stable for up to a year. I recommend keeping this hot sauce in the refrigerator since we are not adding any preservatives here. Store your hot sauce in a cold, dark place or the refrigerator. You can also keep a small container out and freeze or can the rest!
-
How can I make my homemade hot sauce better?
Add something with a bit of extra flavor like honey, agave, maple syrup, or brown sugar. This will add a hint of sweetness without taking away from the heat. The best spicy foods have flavor and spice, not just spice.
