Hot sauce junkie

I think I need to buy a hot plate. I have been banned from making my habanero sauce in the house, and will have to move to the garage. The production irritates my wife's throat and eyes, which, in turn, drives up her blood pressure. Of course, I could do what I have been wanting to try- grilling the peppers instead of blanching.

Ha, it chokes me up every time I make it...no pain no gain. Grilling adds a whole nuther layer of flavor.

Same here, but it doesn't bother me too much. I think I will give the grill a go- now I just need to buy a couple ribeyes.

Ribeyes and Chili on the grill, now ya' talkin' !!

Do you have a gas bottle? If so a gas burner may be another option for the man cave, aka garage.
If you are only cooking for a few minutes a portable gas cooker may be another option. The type you take hunting would work well.

No, I don't do propane. I will cook the carrots, onions, and garlic in the house, grill the peppers, and bring the blender outside.

Tabasco, Franks and Sriracha are my three most commonly used. Been putting cayenne in/on a lot of stuff recently though and I like it. Adds the heat without the vinegar.

I'm not a big fan of "oh my freakin' gosh... that's HURTS!!!" hot sauces, so I tend to stick with the usual suspects: Franks, Sriracha, Cholula, and a locally made chipotle sauce (smoky, thick and seeds). I have probably a dozen bottles/jars of the stuff that I have picked up at local specialty shops. I also love mustards with some zing... Silver Springs "Beer and Brat" mustard will make your eyes water and clear your sinuses for ya.

Here's one I found over the weekend(like I need anymore). Very tasty stuff. Sweet from the peppers, smoke from the paprika but has a nice kick.

That does look nice Aaron. Is it more of pepper relish?

Yeah, pepper relish is a good term. Its thicker than hot sauce. Here's a link to all four flavors:

Also, I finished off a bottle of Fire Dragon Smokey. I'll open a Culley's Thai Sweet Chilli bottle tonight, mainly for the wife. We ran out of the Marie's Sweet Habanero Sauce.

They all look nice. I have not had a chilli relish in a long time.
I'm picking the Culley's Thai Sweet Chilli will be close to a traditional Thai sweet sauce by just looking at the bottle. That's the only one I have not tried from what I sent you.

I just tried it. The sweetness is really close to Maries and the heat is mild. The wife will like this tonight on her stuffed salmon. Thanks again Chris for a nice gift.

No worries. I glad there is a sauce both of you can enjoy. Need a photo of the stuffed salmon, that sounds nice.

It's a salmon stuffed pinwheel. The stuffing has lobster in it. Uncooked.

why did I look, I'm stuck at work with just a banana left to eat. I'm a sucker for punishment, that looks very nice.

Dinner has been served and devoured. The Culleys Sweet Hot sauce was a hit on the wife's fish.

Cully's does it again. I'm enjoying their range so far.

I'm putting hot sauce on everything but the front bumper of my SUV.

Now that I think about it, I was drinking a jalapeno martini.
