The Chilli Experience have brought you the perfect little box to get you on your way. Everything you could possibly need to make a batch of hot sauce in one handy little box. These posts have been fun and informative. I made a tabasco pepper sauce from the non-fermenting recipe here and will be making the fermented version soon. It appears I have a dark red pepper oil starting to develop on the top of the bottle. Not sure if that is normal or not. Any thoughts? Perhaps most importantly, because it’s from an award winning hot sauce maker then you know it’s going to be good. The one I have here is the Scotch Bonnet version which is a deconstructed version of the Great Taste Award winning Spice of Fife “The Fifer’s Bonnet Hot Sauce”. The kit is also available in other degrees of heat, you can get Naga (Bhut Jolokia / Ghost), Moruga Scorpion or the infamous Carolina Reaper versions as well. Of course, you’re not just given a bunch of stuff and left to your own devices, there are instructions as well.

Bottles aren’t hard to come by, but they are something that most people don’t have when they first get an inkling they’d like to try and make some sauce. I think it was the funnel that impressed me the most. It’s a small thing, but an important one. Even if you already own one, if your kitchen is anything like mine with things that don’t get used very often then its nice to see one “just there”. Now that I’ve made this one I’ll definitely think about trying the other sauces at some point anyways, there is a certain satisfaction about making them! The instructions give you just enough to do between each step so you’re never hanging around. I think the biggest wait I had was after I’d charred the Bell Peppers and Garlic you’ve to put the Peppers into a bag and wait 10 minutes before peeling. I’m not really sure why you do this and it’s not explained but I did it all the same (perhaps to make them easier to peel?).Growing chilli plants is easy and highly rewarding. With our growing kit you have everything needed to start successfully cultivating chillies at home in time for a bumper summer harvest! I think having the ingredients for the sauce just handed to me in a box made this a much better learning experience for if and when I want to make more sauces in the future.

Actually, that being said. If I had to think of a name for the sauce myself I’d probably have still been thinking about it now. It’s not as easy as you’d think.) It was all quite an entertaining way to spend an hour or so truth be known. I’ve dabbled in making Hot Sauces before, the first time it was nice but stupidly hot and the second I used way too much vinegar (waaaaaaay too much) so it wasn’t enjoyable at all.I choose the Scotch Bonnet version because as I’ve said many times, they’re one of my favourite chillies to cook with – Just enough heat for me and not too much that they don’t my family off completely (most of the time). Anyone Can Make Delicious Hot Chilli Sauce: New to creating chilli sauce or just not confident in your cooking skills? Not to worry; We created an easy-to-follow instructions booklet that will turn anyone into a hot-sauce-making pro It’s worth a mention that The Chilli Experience also do “Top Up” kits as well – Basically, the same kits without the bottles and the funnel – So, when you’re done with the bottles, don’t throw them away and put the funnel somewhere you can find it 😉
