Deferred Gratification

Today I finished the hot sauce I started back in September.

All I did was strain the liquid from the peppers.

Pre-straining
Sauce and Paste

I dissolved a 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum in a bit of water and then blended that in with the hot sauce to give it some body. That worked well, the sauce has a little viscosity to it now, it’s not just like water.

It tastes delicious. It’s peppery and vinegary without being overwhelming hot. Well worth the wait from last September.
