What’s your go to? Mine was Danny cash 1%er but it looks like it’s no longer being made. Looking for a replacement. Nothing with extracts I’m not that hardcore

Looking for something savory but light in flavor but with big heat, preferably easy to find on Amazon or locally.

There’s a danny cash ghost reaper sauce that looks perfect but they want 12 dollars shipping on a 12 dollar bottle which is a bit much

      I like to ferment mine, let nature do the preserving for me and add that really smooth lactic acid flavor/aroma

          You make a 3-4% brine, cut up your ingredients, and dump everything into a big jar with some form of airlock to let excess CO2 escape. Let it sit somewhere cool and dark for a week or two, stir or shake it up a little now and then, and when it smells like the good kosher pickles from the grocery store it’s ready to throw in the blender with any last-minute spices or whatever.

          You can also blend everything up at the beginning but imo it’s easier to deal with a brine than a mash.

          The Serious Eats page on it is a massive infodump but the main things to know are the salt concentration and the anaerobic environment

      No its good as soon as you make it. Its vinegar based so it lasts a while if you store it after. Ill post the recipe in another reply

        Ah, that makes sense. I use very little vinegar, I’m not a huge fan of it. I like lime juice for my acid

        Edit: I’m talking about salsa though. I don’t know why I thought I was making hot sauce lol
