Here is my spin on Pachanga's fiery Serrano sauce.
The players.

Into the pool. (2 cups of chicken stock + 1 cup of equal parts of white/rice wine/apple cider vinegar + heavy shakes of Ancho chili powder, Malabar black pepper and sea salt)

A couple of sessions 'under pressure'.

Upwind, gloves on.

Some ice cubes to cool things down.

[lots of straining later]
Looks like we get about 3 quarts of liquid heat.

The little one is in the freezer for a test.
Will there be a fair warning to the unsuspecting co-workers? Something tells me that there wont be. That same something is telling me that it is packing quite a punch. I need to find me some peppers!!
You need to bring me some (Lord knows, Twiggy ain't gonna let that IN DA HOUSE)...
(I meant to load you up with an APPLIANCE last time I saw you too...)
10.5, there will be fair warning...
Hal, the frozen 'test group' is for you. ;)
You'll give somebody the red a** tomorrow.
Just don't let the Boss try it. ;D
Cool... I've got TurkeyZilla thawing now.. (didn't wanna leave it thawed over the ACTION-PACKED weekend..)
You try that pulled pork yet?
Squirt & Pachanga,
Looks good, I need to get some peppers and try that. I probably won't use by itself but looks like it will make a good base for things.
I just had some on an omelet, and it is pretty tasty. It could stand to be a bit thicker, and someone suggested upping the salt content.
All in all, worth the effort.
I was wondering about the thickness of that stuff too. But I figured you weren't going for a salsa, but more of a red hot type splash.
Next time, I'll let it simmer for a while with the lid off. (and leave out the ice cubes)
It's got a good flavor..
It sure looks hot!
