I remember it ending up there : ) Good night and some good beers. Gutted mine failed to hit the spot; have tried 3 bottles since and one of those was off/infected, same ratio as Thursday. Oh well.
AG3 soon...

Re: Winter Warmer mini-comp - December 6th
Steve gave me all the hot sauce and you complained at me about getting it so I gave you one of the bottles. Do you even remember making it back to mine? ;)Capn Ahab wrote:So I found a bottle if hot sauce in my bag this morning and don't know if was given it or nicked it (anything's possible). Anyway it's bloody lovely. Is it a Steve W creation?
Burns stuff. And makes beer. Usually not at the same time.
Re: Winter Warmer mini-comp - December 6th
Yeah, I remember yours: two cups of tea, a bmc, two sips of beer and home to bed! Good work on the sauce mate.SandyM wrote:Steve gave me all the hot sauce and you complained at me about getting it so I gave you one of the bottles.

Re: Winter Warmer mini-comp - December 6th
I was actually hoping for the hot sauce recipe! Prefer this one to the last I had, I think because it has a tomato base and the garlic is a bit more prominent. Great flavour!

Re: Winter Warmer mini-comp - December 6th
Its based on Rogers recipe:
Let me know and I'll look out the recipe.
Are there any markings on the bottle lid? I have 15+ varieties in my cupboard at the moment!RogerP wrote:Very simply,
The real key is cider vinegar say a pint*, 2-4 oz sugar, 1 table spoon salt, 4 oz raisins or sultanas, simmer for half an hour with say half a dozen chillis. Then blend and assess for consistency if needed add more cider vinegar as you are aiming for a pouring sauce.
You can add onions or garlic but be careful to avoid a sauce that's too thick. I would never fry off any ingredient.
You can vary the fruit, dried fruit works well with smoked chillis. Pineapple is very very good indeed (add the juice too). Peach, mango and orange also work well. Do small batches and find some combinations that you like.
Layers of chilli flavour make a nicer sauce so use a mix of different chillis, you don't really need a lot.
Bottle hot in sanitised bottles.

I've been using this hot sauce recipe, but adding some smoked porter to the mix and using chipotles. This has added a nice smokiness.

Re: Winter Warmer mini-comp - December 6th
I've just re-made my smoked porter (with some tweaks), and having had a shop bought chipotle sauce fancy having a go at this too.

Re: Winter Warmer mini-comp - December 6th
Chilli Sauce number No. 7 was made on the 27th Nov. 2011, so its had some time to mature.
Made to Rogers Recipe but, it had, in place of the fruit, tomatoes fresh and sun dried, onions & garlic.
I think I lessened the vinegar as the tomatoes are wet and cut back a little on the Sugar too.
I must try the chipotle thing too!
