Miss Anna’s Mellow Pepper Sauce

13 June 2010 | No Comments » | Hot Sauce Guru

 

Mike:  Miss Anna Mellow Pepper Sauce has a quite thick texture and is yellow in color.  The two most noticeable flavors in this sauce are curry and mustard.  This sauce would be good on fish or chicken.  I added this hot sauce to a chicken stir fry and it tasted similar to a good Indian dish.  The heat is low, but noticeable.  I am rating this hot sauce a 3 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Miss Anna’s Mellow Pepper Sauce was a pretty good sauce.   It had a curry taste to it and of course mustard, since it is a mustard based sauce.  I do believe that this sauce would taste good on chicken or fish.  I am rating this sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

2010 Hot Pepper crop

Here is a video of the plants now.  Most of the hot pepper plants were grown from seeds and it has been just over three months.  Many of the plants have flowered and some even have some peppers starting.  One of the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) plants is really taking off and has atleast one pepper starting.

I also showed some of the habanero peppers harvested off the plant that I bought.  There were three plants and two died.  The last plant seems to be doing well and we have harvest twelve orange habanero peppers from it already. 

I am excited to try some of the more exotic hot peppers that will be ready in the near future.

Serrano Pepper Trial

14 May 2010 | 8 Comments » | Hot Sauce Guru

 

Mike:  The Serrano Pepper tastes similar to the Jalapeno Pepper, but sometimes has a little bit of a bitter bite to it.  I have added Serranos to some meals including burgers with good results.  A Serrano Pepper definitely has a little more heat than a Jalapeno.  I am rating the Serrano a 6 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Peppers, I’m not a fan.  Some of you may have seen my performance on the Jalapeno Pepper trial and that did not go very well.  The Serrano Pepper was quite similar, but in all aspects worse.  The Serrano Pepper is fairly small and lacks intimidation, but the inside packs a punch of poor taste and high heat.  I do have to mention that I did finish the pepper, although it did not have time to digest, I still have bragging rights!  Again, I have not enjoyed any peppers so far and I am not looking forward to the upcoming peppers.  I am rating the Serrano Pepper an 8 out of 10 on the heat scale.

2010 Peppers Month Two

30 April 2010 | No Comments » | Hot Sauce Guru

I am now seeing the results of the seeds that were planted. I planted a total of six Bhut Jolokia seeds (Ghost Pepper) and three seeds of the Cajamarca, Aji Limon, Red Caribbean Habanero, and Uba Tuba (Christmas Bell). I have two Bhut Jolokia plants and a total of seven plants of the other four varieties.

I also bought three Orange Habanero plants from Home Depot. One of the plants had exposed roots and did not survive. The other two Habanero pepper plants are doing great and already have peppers on them. I am looking forward to a great harvest this summer and fall.

I will keep you updated monthly on the progress.
