    Good stuff. I use a slice of onion on top with a weight and silicone ferment lid but your idea looks good. A food mill for seed and skin removal, just like one used for tomatoes, works good. I add a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar like Bragg's to help stop the fermenting and it taste good too. Edit: I blend it before the food mill.

    What is the name of that huge red pepper at the :55 second mark? It kind of reminds me of a large hybrid Thai pepper that I am growing, but those measure only around 4+ inches in length with a spiciness of a typical Thai pepper.

    @stevereisman6872 2 года назад +2

    Jenna, I just saw your video on growing potatoes and I found myself on this video. Again, a very well explained video! Since you asked for some comments I thought I'd throw some ideas your way. We have our own little Farmer's Market and I bottle and sell my own hot sauce. You're doing everything right but as you know, there is no one right-way but instead many ways to end up with great results. I'm gonna give you some of my 'secrets'.....
    One thing for sure, fermentation is a must....it's so simply and yet too many people are intimidated by it. I find it a bit easier to simply mix 1/4-cup to each quart of water. You don't need to use distilled water but non-chlorinated water is helpful. I like your onion trick, I usually use weights. I also like to use a variety of peppers along with onion and garlic but it's also fun to add some slices of carrot, besides a bit of flavor they also add a nice orange to the color. Course, omit carrot if you're going to pure hotness. Another nice flavor came come from smoking your peppers before using them.....I use a smoke tray and with the BBQ on super low heat; about 30 minutes to an hour of exposure to smoke gives it a nice flavor...and you can also cheat with a dash of liquid smoke later in the process.
    I do things a bit different when it comes to processing, I drain all the liquid and then put the fermented ingredients into a blender and then add back about 1/3-cup of the liquid into the blender. I then add some 1/4-cup vinegar, about a 1-2 tsp of sesame oil and then a Tablespoon of brown sugar and then a few dashes of Lawyers seasoning. Why? Because one of the most popular hot sauces in the world, Sriracha uses salt & sugar and this is for two reasons: to offset the bitter and sour nature that comes from peppers! I also don't strain, I just let that blender puree the heck out of everything and then adjust with more vinegar or water to taste. Same thing with oil/salt/sugar....adjust-adjust-adjust to taste! The oil smooths everything out and the salt and sugar dial it in to perfection. I then buy these little bottles from Amazon and then bottle, cap and put my own label on it. Our customers LOVE the stuff and put it on everything. So yeah, dial some carrots into the mix and try tweaking the finished product with salt, sugar and vinegar to taste and if you get yourself a good Vitamix blender you can puree the whole thing down and then add water or vinegar to thin it down to proper viscosity. I'd be lying if I didn't mention that a splash of beer or even some cinnamon fireball doesn't add a nice flair to the mix but now we're getting downright gourmet and competition style.

    I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone use an onion like that before. I’ve seen cabbage leaves and bags of water but not that. Seems like it would work great. I recently got this thing that’s a stainless steel coil spring to keep everything submerged with a one way valve lid. I’ve got a batch of sauerkraut going in it now and it’s doing great. I also have a few of the Crazy Korean kimchi tubs that have the inner lid for that.

    A challenge to you, Let's have a set time to begin our favorite veggie the tomatoes 🍅 ,Need you to tell your viewers what supplies you are using ( others have no limits) but can copy as you our teacher.
    Everyone does start one tray ( unlimited as how many but should not plant seeds until start date posted by yourself. Also you pick planting date of let's say after the April 15 frost date comparison to see how we compare with our teacher. We don't have to move out side but do so as we want and I plan several planting staggering my planting days to judge if eart planting really helps and I think about the first of May just might prove better than that risky April 15 date EVERYONE can compare how our seedlings doing monthly ,
    I don't think my old ways has a chance but I'm doing the same as your testing 3 soils for starters but I've got containers from Ice beverages that hopefully might be helpful in the last weeks before May.
    Myself and hopefully anyone who wins can help you spread the way to improve.
    Maybe a green badge or green ribbon for the championship
    Might be fun to all your students to test their best efforts to learn,

      If you leave the pepper 'pulp' in it will be a bit thicker. Other options could be doing a reduction (boil away some of the liquid)< or adding a thickening agent like arrowroot, cornstarch, xanthan gum or pectin... though I've not personally tried doing this.

      Add just the peppers to a blender. Slowly add the liquid to the blender until it is the consistency that you like. Xanthan gum will thicken and prevent the solids and liquids from separating. Add while the blender is running. 1/4 teaspoon for a 2 quart blender. If you want thicker, continue to add in 1/4 teaspoon increments. Careful, to much xanthan gum can make it gummy.
