Success! I believe that my first attempt at making hot sauce has bore fruit. though on the finer points I worry about how much more sauce the recipe turned out vs how much it said it should. I know I've been out of school a while but 9 cups doesn't exactly equally 2 and some liters, but I'm chocking that up to my awesome poodle processor I got for my birthday.
Now, this little venture got me to thinking . what if I were to use this recipe as a variation of how to make apple cider vinegar? what kind of taste would the mother give from this, if I can say so myself awesome smelling, process? we may just have to find out.
On another front, I think I've finalized what I will be using for my mop for project smoked thanksgiving. given the success I had with my apple ribs, I hope to mirror that with a cranberry herb brandy mop. really want the twang of the cranberry to stand out. :)
