A bunch of Cherry Hot Peppers were ready to be picked this weekend. I already knew I wanted to make hot sauce with them, I just wasn’t sure what kind.
I ended up making Fire Plum Hot Sauce – with yellow plums, cinnamon, cloves, anise, black pepper, vinegar and honey.
The result, even without aging, is wonderful. Very hot, but I find myself taking little tastes even so. I can’t wait to see how it tastes with a little aging.
I’m thinking of buying some “real” pepper sauce bottles from Leeners and some cool labels from MyOwnLabels and giving the sauce as Christmas presents in a basket with other goodies.
