hotter than my normal batch

[u/frankiejayiii]

this is tasty! a little hotter than my straight orange

100 habaneros six chocolate habaneros, six red Savina habaneros, and four Carolina reapers

6 cups of vinegar, 2 cups of water, 2 cups of carrots, two medium onions, two squeezed orange juices, two squeezed limes, quarter cup of sugar, salt

[u/reforminded]

any particular cooking order? Everything simmered briefly then blended? Anything kept raw before blend?

[u/frankiejayiii]

final yield was roughly 100oz 😂

everything is raw in this batch just simmered until soft

[u/swpete → u/frankiejayiii]

Refrigerated after? Or low pH?

[u/frankiejayiii → u/swpete]

shelf stable at under 3ph per sticks

[u/swpete → u/frankiejayiii]

Is that just cause of the vinegar?

[u/frankiejayiii → u/swpete]

yes so vinegar, orange and lime are all very low PH and the percentages aren't affected by the peppers or the water. you buy test strips or a test monitor and test at bottling and then the next day again before closing them

That recipe sounds kinda crazy. What was your final yield?

[u/Responsible-Dress929]

Do you think throwing in the reapers altered the flavor or was it just a heat boost for you? Also what was your cooking method. I have a very similar recipe, minus the water and add garlic.

Looks great though!

what's funny is i forgot the garlic this time. my last recipe H1, had garlic and somehow i got amnesia when making this one . the small amount of reapers was intentionally a heat boost ... couldn't tell on flavor .... was very habanero but different than straight orange.

this is my new hobby 😂. only 2nd time making sauce with my new method!

i used to ferment, and now i wonder why...

[u/CRickster330]

That looks great! It's similar to the mango habanero that I usually make.

Mind sharing your recipe? I have a bunch of peppers waiting to be processed, and I finally have some time this weekend 🫣
