    A great tip my grandmother taught me was to squeeze lemon/lime juice into your hands and rub away to get any of the spice oils off your hands. I've always done this and helps. You can also do this when handling seafood as well and garlic to get the smells off your fingers and hands. Not sure about the science behind why it works. But it sure does!

    • @DH-qz2so
      @DH-qz2so 3 года назад +4

      The citric acid neutralizes the garlic on your hands... you could mix some salt in with the lemon as well, then use as a scrub...I have heard of rubbing your hands on stainless steel also works...but not sure why that would work...I'd rather have lemony hands!

    I made QUARTS and QUARTS of fermented hot sauces a year ago. I started them in the early fall when our harvest was at its peak. But because our house stayed cool most nights, the fermentation really took forever. So I ended up fermenting each batch for solidly three weeks. And even after blending we let the ferments sit in our pantry to continue the process. Some of them got an acetone fragrance like nail polish remover. And what I learned, a little too late, is that you shouldn’t throw them away! Just let them sit until they convert over to that familiar lactic acid umami flavor profile that we all love in hot sauce. I even brought the hot sauces with us when we moved across the country! It’s been 11 months, and the ferments continue to change very slowly over time in the fridge. They’re fascinating!

    So thank you!! I watch your videos all the time, and your lifestyle is a dream, so thank you for this bonding experience I got to have with my kiddo!!

    If retaining colour is important to you (yellow and orange chilies are easily overwhelmed) you can get the same flavour using a couple of spoonfuls of under-ripe coriander berries instead of the large handful of fresh cilantro herb. The same for celery and caraway. I grind them to a paste before adding to the blender.

    I tried both pickled peppers and hot sauce last Fall. For the pickled poblanos, I used your recipe for pickling and just left them to serve right out of the pickling jar-great as a condiment. For the hot sauce, I blended my hot chilis in 2.5% salt water and then fermented the blend (it took about 3 weeks in my kitchen, but was well worth it. ) Both came out great. Just what I need in the dead of winter.

    Your peppers are beautiful. I was able to get an abundance of red cayennes a few years ago and dehydrated and ground them. I am still using them for anything I want spicy. I tried making a similar fermented hot sauce last year with our green cayennes (they didn't turn red before the end of the Season) and we didn't care for it. I hope we can get a harvest like these in years to come so I can give this a try!

    Have you tried dehydrating cucumbers then making a powder from it…great flavor in sauces, Mayo, etc on tuna, chicken and pasta salads in the winter and I use it in smoothies.
    Squashes, sweet potatoes and carrots dehydrated make a great what I call orange powder for adding to casseroles, soups and smoothies…
    My husband isn’t a veggie eater but what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen….he’s getting them and can’t tell they’re there.
    I’ve made some great dehydrated pepper combos for the pantry……adding them on top of meats, flavoring homemade mustards and vinegars and oils……
    I couldn’t afford the high priced dehydrator but my Garden Master has done a great job for me and only cost $100. If only there was a lower priced freeze drier…..😏

      Those plastic mason jar lids aren't really airtight so you typically don't have to burp the jars when using them (at least I haven't). I do usually loosen the lid a little anyway once I've moved the jar to where it will ferment and she may have too.

      Une autre technique de conserve, ce que les Turcs appellent yağlı turşu: on fait bouillir une petite dizaine de minutes les piments coupés en petits morceaux (pour adoucir un peu on peut d'abord enlever les graines) avec de l'ail émincé, de l'origan, dans un mélange moitié moitié vinaigre et huile, un petit peu de sel et de sucre. On met en pot le mélange encore chaud, comme une confiture. Ça donne une jardinière de piments super sympa. Une fois ouvert on recouvre toujours d'huile et ça se conserve super bien.

    You really are missing a lot of information here. 1. If everyone did exactly how you described and didn't burp those jars, bad things can happen. I've seen it. Burping the jars, or having burpers is for a reason. Burpers only exist for convenience, as someone could forget about the gases that build up. 2. (And this is more less to each their own) mixing the salt with the water before hand and then pouring it in sort of makes it easier when it comes to mixing if you're going to stuff the jars to the max. 3. Fermenting causes bubbles (hence the gas I just mentioned), by placing the garlic, and onions on the bottom it allows the peppers to receive the taste of the garlic and onions (and whatever else you decide to place in the jar) via those bubbles that carry it to the top. Imo, it's better to place the peppers in last.
    Looks great though. 🍻

    Love this! Couple questions, for Shaye or anyone who would known! Do you add more water as the peppers ferment? You always want to make sure the peppers are covered with water, right? And also, how long would this be good for in the fridge? Thanks! ☺️

      Veggies in ferments will typically release some of their water as they ferment so you shouldn't need to add any more; I think the only time I've had to add any was when something bubbled out of the jar (a very happy ferment). If you do need to add any more liquid you want to use a brine to keep the salinity at the proper level. The rule of thumb for a brine is 3 Tbsp salt per quart of water.
      As for how long it will keep in the fridge, the rule of thumb for ferments is: it's good as long as it tastes and smells good to you. I've had krauts that got way too sour for me that my fiance adores so it's all a matter of preference. Also, be aware of molds. If I see green or black mold it's out! White mold or a Kham yeast gets scooped off and the ferment is tested and switched to another jar if it still seems good (or consumed quickly). I've heard some people say that they just push back the mold on top and the ferment is still fine underneath, I guess it's a matter of your own comfort level so use your best judgement.
      The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Katz is a really great book to learn more. Wardee Harmon (also spelled Wardeh) is another good resource. I don't have either of her fermentation books yet but her website (Traditional Cooking School) has loads of info. Hope this helps!

    I tried out both pickled and fermented recipes last year. My adult son asked me to make more of the hot sauce this year but even he found the pickled whole chilli peppers too hot to cope with!

    Making mixed pepper jelly, but would love to make the hot sauce. I have never done fermenting; and thought you had to put the special lid while its doing its thing, to release the gases? Noticed you just used a regular screw top.

      Nah as long as the peppers submerged they’ll ferment just fine :)

    I'm a lil confused. First you said put it in a cool, dark place and then you said a warm place and sat it on your shelf next to a window. I would love to try this but I just want to make sure I do it right. :)

      It needs to be in a semi-warm place for the first 7-10 days to ferment. After it's blended and bottled, it should be stored in a cool, dark place.

    Do you have to burb the jar so gasses don't build up and make it break?

  • @suewarman9287

    Hi! Sorry to be picky, but near the end of the video you say to leave the jar in a warm place to ferment, but nearer the beginning you said a cool place? I've got a warm kitchen or a cool cellar, which one please? tks!

    I'm harvesting peppers today too! I'm just getting into fermented foods, although I've been canning and pickling for years, I just made my first sauerkraut. To be sure, did you say to ferment in a cool dark spot, or at room temperature? I thought I heard both, but this is so cool qndi want to get it right😁😁😁

    Can you do this with previously frozen peppers?
