Making a batch of hot sauce, per recipe by Cathy Barrow. Last few years did this inside and family was coughing from fumes. So it’s an outside project this time. Roasted chiles on the BioLite stove yesterday. Cooking today on grill, will puree with Vitamix under carport.

@antonzuiker Sounds like the making of excellent hot sauce. Are a mask and gloves worn by doing it?

@klandwehr glasses, mask, and gloves are recommended though I risked it sans mask and gloves. I rinsed everything down outside then brought dishes in to wash but even that made the kitchen smell. Erin has the windows open and fans blowing. The hot sauce is delicious, though!

@antonzuiker good to know there is another brave person or fool (depending on your point of view) who works with hot pepper without gloves or mask.

@jeremycherfas fermenting them sounds interesting is there a good recipe for it

@klandwehr Not really. I use a 2% brine and just let them bubble away till they are very soft and will go through a sieve.
