July MoM is @Akoyeh!

You can probably make a really mild hotsauce with the banana peppers. My suggestion would be to lacto ferment them instead of pickling (with vinegar). I’m partial to submerging chopped peppers in a 2.5% brine solution. Ferment anywhere from 3 days to 3 years. Much more user friendly than puree-ing the peppers and adding salt to ferment. The latter method is much more prone to kahm yeast and other bad bacteria/mold growth.

Blend the fermented peppers with a small amount of the brine to make something of a paste/chunky sauce. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 years. If you pasturize before storage, the flavor will stay the same. If not, the mash will continue to ferment and age, albeit much more slowly, in the fridge.

The mash cam be mixed with anything from water and vinegar to any number of fresh ingredients for making all kinds of different sauces.

Thank you for the advice! I may just try some lacto fermentation on these.

Didn’t vote for you, but I will say, I won’t be upset if/when you win this month!

There are some really amazing members up for the award this month. People who I would vote for any time for their amazing contributions to the forum. I don’t blame you for voting for someone more helpful (and currently engaged in pushing us forward with cannabis).

All I do anymore is talk about spicy foods and act as the resident PC police. Haha. I certainly have no expectations or illusions about winning against some really deserving nominees!

I didn’t mean to leave you out, it wasn’t in the mom thread last month. It was in a random thread that I can’t even remember. I’ll put in next months, and confirm that it was @Dred_pirate that nominated you correct?
