I make hot sauce using fatalii[0] chillies (similar heat to habaneros but IMO superior flavor). I de-seed them, pressure steam them in an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker, then blend them with cider vinegar, lime juice, salt, and a little xantham gum to stop it separating in storage. I pour it into glass jars, pasteurize it by steaming it with the lids resting on the jars but not sealed (ambient pressure, not increased pressure, because when I tried pressure steaming the sauce bubbled out from the jars and made a mess), close the lids while still hot, and keep refrigerated.
This makes a delicious sauce that, even without the seeds, is still much too hot for those who aren't chilli aficionados.

- Matticus_Rex 8y agoMight have thought that you were me if not for the cider vinegar. I find that it overpowers the flavor of the peppers. I mostly use white vinegar and citric acid, with the occasional lime juice.
- mrob 8y agoI'll try white vinegar for the next batch, thanks.
