Haute Hop Sauce

By

I'll admit that I didn't intend to make a hot sauce with hops. I was just making a sauce with my pepper bounty from our High Ground Organics CSA. Then I got the bag of Cascade hops from the Lamberts. And, instead of using other herbs, I decided to turn the hot sauce into a hoppy affair. This really packs a punch, a bitter and delicious punch.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh peppers (I had Padròns and banana peppers)
  • 3 whole garlic cloves
  • 1 T grey fleur de sel
  • 1 1/2 C white vinegar

Procedure

Wash and dry your pepper. Lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roast for 40 minutes - until the peppers are shriveled and golden.


Once roasted, pull the stems from the peppers.


Combine the peppers, garlic cloves, and salt in a blender. Blend for a few pulses. Once the ingredients are roughly combined, drizzle in the vinegar. Blend till smooth.


Transfer sauce to a mason jar and allow to sit in the pantry; the longer it sits, the deeper the flavor that develops. I left mine for about 10 days. Blend the sauce smooth again. Test the sauce and adjust the salt to taste. Transfer to bottles or jars and place in the refrigerator.


This sauce will keep for 3-4 months. I plunked a few hops petals in the jar as a garnish.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
