Thank you very much! I plan on misting more easy to follow hot sauce recipes and other tutorials

One thing that I’d suggest adding would be a bit of Xanthan gum. It’ll keep your sauces from separating. I’ve made 6 batches of sauce in the last few weeks from the 19 varieties (106 plants) of hot peppers I grew this year. Some great KZread channels for hot sauce ideas are ATX Hot Sauce & Chilly Chump. Stay safe.

Grounded Roots I’ve recently made a plum sauce using Thai peppers as my heat source. Instead of white vinegar I used red wine vinegar and everyone who tries it has loved it. It has a sweet and sour profile with a decent heat. All the best with your experiments.......I’ve really enjoyed the tinkering with different flavour profiles and heat levels.

Great video, and the sauce looks amazing. Just one tip, wait till the sauce cools down before measuring the PH to get an accurate reading since the heat changes the PH.

How do you know what's the required Ph level? and also where do you buy the ph strips?. Thank you love your videos.

@GroundedRoots

The FDA requires canned food (hot sauce Falls under this category) to be below 4.6 pH in order to be considered shelf stable. I usually aim for my sauce to be below 4.0 to be on the safe side. I bought my strips on Amazon. Just search "acid ph strips" and you should have a few good options.

I've never made hot sauce before and I have two pepper plants which are full of peppers: Thai Dragon and Cayenne pepper. Do you think this recipe would work for these kinds of peppers? Also, do you recommend storing this sauce in the refrigerator before opening? Thanks much for making this video! ☺☺☺

@GroundedRoots

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! Both of the peppers that you are growing have a different flavor profile than habaneros do... However, I think they would still go great in this recipe because they would really bring out the smoky flavor against the pineapple. You'll need to use more peppers than I did to get the same heat level because cayenne and Thai peppers aren't as hot as a habanero is.If you make the sauce with a PH below 4.0, and sanitize your bottles/jars before filling them than this sauce should last just fine outside of the fridge until you open it.

when you bottle the hot sauce, do you wait for it cool down or just do it while its hot? also since you are putting the bottles in a hot bath does the bottles need to be completely dry ? does water in the bottle affect the shelf life?

@GroundedRoots

3 жыл бұрын

You want to bottle hot sauce when it's still hot, ideally when it still above 180°f in order to kill any remaining bacteria that could be lingering in the bottle. A little bit of water left in the bottle shouldn't make a difference as long as your pH of the sauce was decently low already. The FDA requires a pH of 4.6 or below, but I generally like to shoot for a pH below 4.0 just incase there is any water that could slightly raise my pH.

Yes, these can be considered shelf stable as long as you made sure to pasteurize the sauce (simmering it for 15 minutes) and ensuring that the pH is below 4.0 which will prevent bacteria growth

Hot filling hot sauce woozy bottles is the FDA recommended method way of filling them. They are perfectly shelf stable and will last years if done correctly. A hot water bath on woozy bottles can potentially warp the plastic lids and cause them to spoil a lot faster
