Fermented Peach Hot Sauce

[@burtmacklin6443]

The white stuff at the top of the fermentation is called Kahm yeast. The act of boiling the sauce is actually pasteurization and only needs to reach 145 for 30 minutes. At a full boil you only need to run it for about 5 seconds unless of course you are trying to thicken the sauce by boiling off liquid. Great video, I think the dehydrated pulp would be great on some homemade tortilla chips and pair that with some salsa, if you are lucky the peach sweetness will shine through. You have inspired me with your peach sauce and will probably copy it with a tweak adding a little smoked paprika, then probably age it for a bit. I'm hoping to get something that reminds me of a grilled peach. Fingers crossed and cheers for the inspiration.

[@jackspepperpatch]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It’s interesting how some of my ferments get the Kahm yeast and some don’t - I guess sometimes the conditions just line up for it to grow despite preventative measures, especially in fruity ferments like this. I didn’t know that grilled peaches were a thing, but after looking it up I am going to have to try making some! Sounds delicious. When recreating the sauce you could ferment the peppers and onions, but then add in grilled peaches as a fresh ingredient during the cooking process to get them to show through even more. Enjoy!

[@burtmacklin6443]

@@jackspepperpatch Kahm yeast is actually a product of an imbalance in your brine... or so the internet tells me. Little update to my original plans, I couldn't find any ripe peaches so I tried red plums, not sure if the flavor will hold up or not. Hope those grilled peaches turn out good for you, not sure if the recipe you found has it or not but I have found that drying the faces with a paper towel and dipping them in sugar really helps create that caramel like shell you see in glamor shots. One more thing to try, fermented garlic honey. Take a bunch of cloves of garlic, peel them, crush them to release the allicin, and toss them in a jar with honey. The honey will become thin and the garlic will tone down. It is one of my favorite things to put on grilled chicken, specifically while grilling, it creates a barrier sealing in the juices.

[@carvedwood1953]

@@burtmacklin6443 First of all grilled peaches are AMAZING. I like to dip my peach halfs in whiskey, then dip in sugar, then grill, then fill the pit hole with some ice cream. Best grilled desert there is. As for the kahm yeast, I am not sure what an imbalance in your brine would even mean. The brine is typically just water and salt. I have done many ferments that have got the kahm yeast on top, each of them I made using a scale for exact brines. I personally like to use a 2% brine (by total weight [veggie weight+brine weight]) as I like to limit my salt intake. I have got kahm yeast on 3% brines as well. I don't think its an imbalance rather than just the presence of yeast at the surface. I also completely skip the pasteurization step. I just spent a couple weeks nurturing healthy lactobacillus so why would I want to kill it all off? I just use the fermented veggies, add vinegar (typically apple cider) which has healthy mother in it as well and a high acidity which creates an environment that yeast does not thrive in but lactobacillus can tolerate. That way my hot sauce is also a probiotic bomb.

[@burtmacklin6443]

@@carvedwood1953 mmm definitely gonna try that grilled peach recipe. Yeah, Kahm yeast is one of those fickle things, I have had it grow on some and not others. The end fermentation saw no difference. The internet told me it was a brine imbalance, so it could be utter nonsense, I am no organic biologist. I am right with you on pasteurization. Although if you did want to store it, without pasteurization you might be creating little glass bombs. Lactobacillus can still create enough pressure to run the risk. Kombucha is a lactobacillus fermentation among other things and if you have ever made it know it will create quite the pop if left to its own devices.

[@carvedwood1953]

@@burtmacklin6443 oh absolutely haha. If you are going to try to store long term in glass bottles you have to make sure the ferment is very well done and then store in the fridge anyway to slow or almost stop the bacteria anyway. I am sure there are fancy bottles that can allow the right amount of pressure release like when you buy kimchi at the store. I just store it in the fridge in normal bottles. Never personally had an issue doing that as long as the ferment is pretty complete when its done. and I normally use it frequent enough that it gets burped and shouldnt have issues. I dont even use air locks or anything when doing the ferment. just plastic mason jar lids screwed on loosely. I have three ferments going right now. Only one has had the yeast problem. I believe my issue on that one was not cutting my vegetables small enough so the lacto started slow and gave the kahm time to grow before the brine was acidic enough to stop it. No mold though so I'm golden. Now I just have to hope it tastes good and not like shit because its experimental haha. I had some orange habaneros and wanted to go with a fall theme and stay orange as well. Instead of peaches or mango or something I added carrots and sweet potato for sweetness. If that fails I plan to add in some peach or maybe apricot to try to save it. Something tells me the sweet potato contributed to the kahm yeast factor too but I have no hard evidence on that.

[@littlepotato2741]

You should use brine in your plastic bag weights just in case it breaks or leaks. This will make it so if that happens, it's much less trouble to fix instead of having to try to fix the salinity.

[@jackspepperpatch]

I usually use freezer bags and haven’t had one leak before, but that is a good idea! Cheap insurance in case it does happen. At some point I will invest in some real glass or ceramic weights too

[@jacobotha6158]

I ferment Habanero chilies the same way you do. Next time I'll add the peaches and onions. I use a small block of dry ice to create a layer of CO2 on top of the fermenting mix. Like the idea of a plastic bag with water. The pulp I bottle and use it in curry or chili dishes. A table spoon of chili pulp is great with any meat stew, curry or any dish with ground beef. We even added some of it to our home made pizza for a bit of extra heat. Awesome video..... . .

[@jackspepperpatch]

Thank you! I have a Louisiana style sauce fermenting currently and am definitely going to save some of the pulp to put in chili this fall, sounds amazing. The CO2 barrier is pretty genius… science!

[@j.l.thurman2725]

how do you do that? you drop the block on the peppers and then it gases?

[@QuargCooper]

You should make sure that the bag is filled with brine, rather than water, in case it leaks, which could otherwise dilute the brine (:

[@Mr31minuto]

Thanks for the dry ice tip, that's brilliant.

[@michaelbrown5980]

Great idea to use peach! I've been fermenting my peppers with red onion and pineapple for awhile now. I've really liked that combination. I've done mango as well which is decent. I'll have to try peach next time. I don't boil it after though like you did. I think that will kill off the lacto bacteria which is good for the gut. I also go through it way too fast for them to go bad!

[@jackspepperpatch]

Red onion pineapple sounds like a great combination! I did another video on here with fermented mangos and strawberries and it came out really good. Boiling is definitely optional I just did it to be extra safe. If you know the PH is low enough, you can not boil it and still get away with not going through it fast!

Great video and very informative. I would take the pulp and dehydrate it. Once it’s completely dry I would grind it up in to a powder to add to sauces or grind it with some pink salt to create a new spice combo. There is so much flavour in the pulp that it would be a shame to waste it.

[@jackspepperpatch]

I agree it’s a shame to waste! I’m going to make a video on dehydrating it soon because that’s definitely the best option for preservation IMO. Hadn’t thought about adding salt to it, but pink salt would add a nice flavor!

Super late to the party but I think that adding some of that leftover pulp to a chili. Whenever you add in the tomatoes, add in the pulp, and it will act like a thickener and add some heat and great pepper flavor.

That's pretty cool and I might try it. If you want some advice/critique, I think your video could benefit from being more casual. I saw another comment comparing you to Adam Ragusea and I think a key difference is that his videos feel like you're sitting at a table talking to a friend about their recipe, while yours has more of a lecture vibe.

Thanks! You should try it; it sounds intimidating but isn’t that hard. Ferment time depends on a lot of things, I’d say the biggest factor other than portion size is the sugar content.

Gonna try this! Thinking about caramelizing the onions and or peaches first though. Would that impact the fermentation? Would it be better to add them during the blend and just ferment the peppers on their own?

[@jackspepperpatch]

They should still ferment if they’re in there with the peppers! If you were to try to just ferment them it probably wouldn’t unless you introduced some bacteria, but with the uncooked peppers as well there should still be enough native bacteria to still kick things off. You also can add them in before the blend - I did this in a green hot sauce recipe on my page because I wanted the contrast of fermented peppers with the crisp fresh onion and garlic. If you do introduce fresh ingredients after the ferment be sure to cook everything well though

so, you dont need to do a full water bath? how are they sealed and are they shelf stable?

[@jackspepperpatch]

Hello! No you don’t need to water bath, but you can if you want to store them for a long period. These should be shelf stable given the drop in PH during the ferment. But I just put them in the fridge since this was a small batch and I didn’t measure the PH to be sure. Also, by using the “hot fill flip” bottling method the top of the bottle is sanitized by the (temperature) hot sauce.

[@olliebarwise7264]

Could you ferment the leftover paste and use it like gochujang?

[@jackspepperpatch]

The leftover paste is pretty stable as is, so I bet you could sub it for gochujang in some recipes! Traditional gochujang is fermented with some additional grains too I think so if you did want to ferment the grains too I bet this pulp would make an excellent starter.

Thank you! I will do a pulp dehydrating video soon I think it is a great way to preserve all the great flavors from it. I think for long term preservation I would trust a traditional canning method like you mention over my method. I have kept these for over a year now, but they have been in the fridge since opening. You do have PH on your side as a result of the fermenting process (this batch was about 3-3.5), so it would be a good food for long term preservation when combined with a canning method.

Not absolutely necessary if you're sure that fermentation is complete! You could do that by checking the PH of the brine.

May be a stupid question but doesn’t this process create alcohols too? Because of the sugar in the peaches..

[@jackspepperpatch]

I think there is potential for some trace amount of alcohol to be produced. The bacteria doing most of the lifting in these ferments though is lactobacillus and it’s main by products from consuming the sugar are CO2 and lactic acid. If there is any alcohol it would be a tiny amount and I’m sure it would have evaporated when I boiled the sauce to stop the ferment!

The flavor might continue to develop if additional fermentation occurs storing it that way as well

[@chico11mbit]

you need a better blender. i changed it this year and i have no pulp leftovers.

[@jackspepperpatch]

I really do, this one is a cheapo Walmart special. Got one that you recommend? Ultimate goal is to have a nice blender and then a juicer as well to really get every last drop.

You’re right! Was trying to drive the aerobic vs. anaerobic point and slipped up.

make a jelly out of the pulp.

That’s a great idea! Do you have a recipe that you recommend?

Lol yeah definitely a slip up on my part. It’s a fungus it is aerobic though which is what I was trying to say

Make a hot spicy bread with that pulp

Wow that sounds really good. I may have to try that!

You ruined the ferment when you heated it up. Its not shelf stable anymore.

[@jackspepperpatch]

I wouldn’t say I ruined it, but yes the purpose of boiling was to stop the fermentation process. I was happy with the flavor of the sauce and I didn’t want any pressure to build in my bottles from further fermentation. I did test the PH of this sauce and it was sitting at about 3-3.5 before bottling, so as far as shelf stable I think it would be fine however I do refrigerate these to make them last longer!

[@shaunkirk6450]

It didnt ruin it, just isnt shelf stable anymore. More importantly, this kills off all the good microorganisms that were created by the fermentation process. Which kinda sucks, but i guess you still get the flavour profile from the ferment. To each their own.

[@abdul-hadidadkhah1459]

@@shaunkirk6450 you dont get the same flavour profile because cooking anything changes flavour.

[@shaunkirk6450]

@@abdul-hadidadkhah1459 correct but you do still get a different flavour profile than a cooked unfermented sauce. I do it the odd time.

[@CoNiCuZn]

Lol looks like we have another fermentation snob. It’s is perfectly fine to ferment just for the flavor and stop the process by heating it up. Doing this stuff at home is really hard to guarantee a perfectly stable environment and cooling the sauce kills any unwanted harmful bacteria.

Mold is not an "aerobic bacteria", because it's not bacteria. It's mold.

[@jackspepperpatch]

Yeah, it’s actually an aerobic fungus! Not bacteria

[@CokefishR]

So, mold is mold? You learn something new every day.

Pretty sure those are nectarines.

The heat will sanitize the lid? You do a bunch of odd things in this video that I just don't understand. Tbh I just don't really feel like you know what you're talking about.

[@jackspepperpatch]

It’s called the hot fill, flip, hold method for filling sauce bottles. It’s a pretty standard practice for filling bottles with hot sauce or other acidic foods. I don’t know how to reply to the rest of your comment, so I will just say thank you for posting a comment. The engagement really helps drive analytics that contribute to the success of the video! 😎

[@NTayls80]

Great ingredients, I really want to try this combo! Honestly though man… after waiting an entire month for your ferment, you’re completely ruining it by boiling it!… It kills ALL of the healthy bacteria that work magic on your tastebuds and in your gut. Also, IMO adding vinegar completely masks all of the natural/amazing flavours… *facepalm… All you need to do is add a little of the brine into the blender for consistency, and store your bottles in the fridge. Burping them once a day for the first week. Being in the fridge drastically slows down the fermentation process, and the flavour only gets better the longer they sit. You might as well just cook/roast the ingredients on the stove or grill immediately on the day they are chopped and add vinegar etc. 1 month of healthy bacteria wasted with boiling + the addition of vinegar is a crazy thing to me. 😳 I hope this helps for future projects. It’s completely safe and delicious to eat as is, after fermentation, without boiling and without vinegar.

Boiling kills the good healthy lactobacillus 🥴😵‍💫

You’re totally right I just slipped up

[@abdul-hadidadkhah1459]

I stopped watching when you put it on the stove and boiled it for ages. Pointless endeavour.

[@jackspepperpatch]

Hope you enjoyed the recipe up to that point!

[@markduric7812]

hahahaha those are nectarines for dingus sake!!!!!! So many fermentation recipes online people, take them with a grain of SALT lol.

[@jackspepperpatch]

Good eye 👀 I’ve made this recipe with both interchangeably just depending on what I can get fresh. Did you like the recipe other than that discrepancy? Also I can’t tell if you meant SALT as a pun or not, but it works (cause of the brine)

[@foodpimpz9086]

I don't cook my fermented sauce.

[@jackspepperpatch]

You don’t have to! That’s one of the benefits of fermentation. I just did for good measure.

[@Shadessmh]

not how you say habanero.

[@jackspepperpatch]

Good call. I’ve since learned and corrected my ways!

[@Caymon8]

All the benefits of fermentation down the tube the second it was boiled and highly acidified. Your brine was plenty saline to ward off the bad. I understand the precautions, but such a shame to lose all those healthy bacteria.

[@richyket661]

Fermentation is for the taste not bacteria

[@jackspepperpatch]

Not all the benefits, I still got the great taste from it! My main concern is bottling something that could still potentially ferment and build pressure.

[@pageevans8865]

That’s not a peach hahaha Jesus

[@jackspepperpatch]

Eagle eye lol. 99% Genetically similar to a peach though ;) I use whatever I can get fresh at the moment when peppers are ripe.
