Then run through a processor. That is the real gold! Charles Owen. I grow my own peppers and receive peppers from friends so I plan to make a lot.

It is great! This is almost the same process as Tabasco, the red peppers, salt and fermentation, straining and heating. Great combination! I have one suggestion, do not throw the mash away after straining, wrap it in a cheesecloth corner make a pouch and use it for seasoning ANYTHIN' you boil; shrimp, crabs, crawfish, potatoes, chicken, noodles This is really close to what I came up with. I might use slightly less vinegar and a add a bit of starter made with brewer's yeast to kick start fermentation.
