I made up a miniature batch of sauce the other day based on carp's "The Brew" recipe posted some time ago. His recipe was on the order of gallons, this try is only about 8 oz. (approx .2 liters?). The reasons for this are twofold: I didn't want to commit a large quantity on my this try, and due to climate/supplier vagueries I didn't have much to work with. I used all 4 chocolate habs that ripened true, combined with 4 equal sized Francisca habs, four cloves of garlic, salt and vinegar. It is on the shelf, percolating along in a recycled glass jar. The combination of orange and (nearly) black habs reminded me of the horrible taffy the cheapskate homes give out on halloween, so it is tentatively dubbed "Halloween Habanero Sauce". It should be ready by then, according to carp's recipe. If it turns out on the vile side of nasty, it will merely be "Failed Experiment #237". Scott... KCK
