I'm assuming everyone processes their chiles in THIS quantity with them only de-stemmed...i.e., de-seeding is too laborious. I've noticed that in all my hot sauces that I've made over the past few years they've always had a slight..."green" taste to them. I don't know any other way to describe this. Each of those batches I've not de-seeded, but just de-stemmed and then cooked down and processed into sauce, seeds and all. Of course, I do strain it prior to bottling. But, how do you get that "green" taste out? It's something I've been experimenting with but so far, have been unsuccessful.
