Getting Back at it!

Posted over on the "waht are y'all cooking' thread, cause I completely forgot about this one. These have been fermenting sine the post above in October. It's HOT HOT HOT!!!! Pureed the peppers and garlic with about half of the brine and then tried a dab, not smart, but I didn't die. Added a pound of pineapple and it mellowed a touch, but still a bit salty from the brine, gonna add another pound or two of pineapple to bring out the sweet and fruity side of the reaper and tame it a bit also. All said and done this should net about a 1-1.25 gallons of final bottled sauce. Fine tuning and testing should be done around end of May. Also getting ready to bottle the batch of Candy A$$ and should have that ready about the same time. As I no longer have my sa\tate required Cottage food processor license/permit I can not sell these to anyone, but I'm gonna accept free will donations in exchange. I participate in an MS Society event every year and all donations will go to that event, which in turn donates 100% of the groups donations to the MS Society. We have been doing this for 17 years now(I think, I started only a few years ago), The entire event is ran by volenteers and everything that we utilize is donated.

Ok so those who are interested in some of this Nuclear Pineapple, it will be ready to ship 1st week in May. Our event is facing some pushback with the local .gov types, but we've got our fundraising page set up with the MS Society and will go forth regardless if we can't iron out all details locally. Here is the link to my page https://mssociety.donordrive.com/participant/Neil-Connolly All funds go directly to the MS Society. I will cover shipping and can fit up to 3 bottles in a USPS SFR box. Please PM me your address and how many bottles you would like.

OOH, more hot sauce! I'd like some if any left. I think my kid's favorite was smoked habanero IIRC, but whatever you have, I'm sure it will be good.

This one is a fermented Carolina Reaper Pineapple. I'm gonna have much more than I anticipated, I've cut the pepper mash down with 6lbs of pineapple and it's still to much. I'm gonna be processing and bottling some Candy A$$ Jalapeno in the coming weeks also.
 
This just reminded me that my wife made some C A Jalapeño. Just spread cream cheese on some crackers with that and was really tasty.

That was a good one. As long as my peppers do well this year I will be doing a couple smoked sauces and powders(maybe)
 
Got it proofed down to where it's actually eateable, tested final ph and it's a go for bottling tomorrow! Nuclear Pineapple is all but done, will have ~70 bottles. Next week's project is to finish the Candy A$$ and get labels printed.20220422_125135.jpg20220422_203945.jpg
