Ingredients

6 habanero (scotch bonnet) chillies
8 Naga jolokia chillies
Mango
Yellow English Mustard
Shallots
Brown Sugar
White Wine Vinegar
Cumin Powder
Chilli Powder
Mustard Seeds
Rock Sea Salt
Tabasco Sauce
Olive Oil

I made it for a friend as a Christmas present, currently in the fridge. Having never made a sauce before, do you think it would be worth putting it in the freezer or not? It will only be in there for about a week of course, might kill the flavour?
 
Sounds great :)

I would definitely not put it in the freezer. With that much vinegar, oil and capsicum you really don't need to. Just keep them in the fridge until they are required.

I presume you sterilised the containers/lids as best as possible before jarring the sauce, right?

They should last, but next time stick the jars in the oven to properly sterilise. They will last months then. I ate some apply chutney earlier in the year I had brewing in the garage for three years.

It does look good I must say. I bet it will blow your nads off. :D
 
oh my lord.

Firstly, don't put any in the freezer.

Secondly; Send me a jar! :P

What you should really do is bake them in the over at like 250*C, and as soon as the contents is ready take the jars out the oven and ill with the sauce/jam etc. Tighten the lid immediately.

The heat will sterilise the jars and as they cool the air will contract and you will get a tight vacum with minimal air space.
 
Thanks for the tips on sterilising properly, I'll do that next time.

I think I will try some tomorrow and let you know how it goes, no video however I'm afraid :p
 
Taste it! Taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it taste it!
 
Holy crap, that's gonna be some hot hot sauce. The hottest sauce i've ever tried was Dave's insanity sauce, a friend bet me £10 to have a tea spoon of it. 8 pints of water, 2 pints of milk and 2 vomiting spells later and my mouth was still on fire lol.
 
I've just tried some by dipping some bread it, it wasn't actually as hot as I expected. My tongue is burning but no watering eyes or anything :p It was nice though, fruity and a little sweet with some great flavour.

I think if I ate a teaspoon of it on it's own that would be painful
 
Boiling the jar is another way to sterilise it. I think the oil and vinegar will certainly help it. Boiling the sauce before jarring is quite common. Then you seal the jar and let it cool.
