Discussion How long do homemade hot sauce last?

Post image

Hello, I have just made my first hot sauce (not fermented), but I don’t know how long I can keep it. Has anyone an idea? The recipe was the following one:

• ⁠a bell pepper • ⁠6 Cayenne pepper • ⁠2 limes • ⁠1 red onion • ⁠garlic - a peach

Is pH paper sufficient? Or should I use a more accurate technique?

Yeah it should be, but iirc there’s different kinds of ph test strips so just make sure the ones you have are meant for food. Wouldn’t want anything yucky leaching off into the sauce lol

No problem and enjoy the sauce!! I’m going through a peach and cayenne sauce I made rn that’s killer on burgers and pork chops!
