Hot Sauce Batch 19 – entry 8

By Published On: December 9th, 20190.6 min readCategories: Photos, Projects

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.

I think next week I’ll add the oak and get the peppers ready to rest through the winter.

I’m just a guy with nearly an acre of dirt, a nice little mid-century ranch house and a near-perfect climate. But in my mind I’m a landscaper survivalist craftsman chef naturalist with a barbeque the size of a VW and my own cable TV show. I like to write about the stuff I build, grow and see here at Sage's Acre.
