    • How To Craft Your Own ...
    In this video, we're making a simple Fresno pepper hot sauce from scratch! This hot sauce recipe is incredibly flavorful, while only using a few simple ingredients. The star of the show is the Fresno pepper, a red ripe chili popular in Fresno, CA, and perfect for hot sauce making. While you can use red jalapeños as an alternative, they are harder to find. Hope you enjoy!

    I’ve started to do a 2-stage hand washing process after handling peppers; a good scrubbing of vegetable oil and then soap. As best as I can tell (I do rub my eyes a lot), this removes any capsaicin on the ol’ fingers.
    Fresnos are a great pepper for hot sauce and this is an inspiration because I want to get my hands on sone Fresnos now! Sadly, the grocery store where I use to buy them no longer carries them. So I’m going to have to grow them next year.

    Sounds very good, charring the vegetables does provide a whole other dimension of flavors. I can recommend blending fermented peppers with charred or roasted ingredients, it's a fantastic combination.

    I just started a fermented Fresno hot sauce, I also add fresh garlic and cilantro. When it is fully fermented I drain it and add back 1 cup of the brine and 1 cup white vinegar. I like to blend and leave the solids in it.

    I just picked a batch of Big Jim peppers and added a few small jalapeño M. Didn’t want to wait to ferment so I used them in this recipe. Blackening them in the saucepan gives them an incredible flavor, I also only had a shallot which added some needed sweetness. One of the best hot-sauce recipes I’ve ever made. Thanks, this one’s a keeper!

    I won 1st Place best in class at the L.A. County fair for my hot sauce so PLEASE believe me when I tell you that fermenting the peppers/onions/carrots/etc is absolutely critical if you want to attain optimum results. Any non-fermented recipe will improve with fermentation, anyone who suggests that it's optional clearly hasn't done fermentation. It's not that hard and the flavor improves tremendously!!

  • @ardenthebibliophile

    I ferment hot sauce from the garden. A general recipe (LOTS of wiggle room, have fun) is (all by weight)
    75% peppers, 15% onion, 9% carrot, 1% garlic. Blitz to smoothe, add 5% of total veg mass in salt and let ferment, typically 1-4 weeks. Bottle and serve. It tastes vastly different depending on the pepper bill but is a fun recipe

    That looks amazing and I love the way you (unlike most chefs) let the ingredients cool down before putting it in a plastic blender so that the plastic doesn’t release any toxins and make the flavors dull. My only tip is to just cot of the top of the pepper and then use a peeler to get in the gut of the pepper and remove the seed, it will save you time and your hands won’t be burned.

      A: They put hot ingredients in a blender immediately because constantly going up and down with temperatures isn't a good idea for food safety although its less of an issue when working with vegetables that incorporate a fair amount of acidity to keep the product shelf stable and prevent consumers from getting botulism. B: The plastic that blender manufacturers make are food grade and should handle hot/cold foods that have little to no effect on the taste. If they really contained toxins they would've already been sued out of existence a long time ago. The more you know... 🎉

    My only advice would be to use an oil with a higher smoking point than Olive oil when charring the veggies such as Avocado oil.
