Hot Sauce Batch 19 – entry 8
Here it is, week 12 since I started the peppers fermenting. I don’t know how it’s possible, but the Hidden Lake Hot peppers in the garden are still hanging in despite heavy and 40 degree temperature swings between night and day. I managed to pick about 2-3 ounces of fresh pepper for a new addition (along with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, but no additional water), and will probably get 2-3 ounces more based on the number of peppers and new flowers on the plants right now.
Hidden Lake hot peppers still flowering and producing fruit in December
I think next week I’ll add the oak and get the peppers ready to rest through the winter.
