minus-squareCubbyTustard@reddthat.comOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-27 months agosame jalapeño recipe without xanthan gum: if you shake it up it’s fine but it settles within a day. I looked at all my favorite hot sauces and every single one used xanthan gum so i guess I’m a fan. the potassium sorbate I actually bought for a different recipe but added since I had it it’s just a cheap preservative
minus-squarenieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months agoThank you for the details, that’s very helpful. Any idea how long the sauce would last without a preservative?
minus-squareCubbyTustard@reddthat.comOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoIt should last a good long while if you keep it sealed in the fridge, > 6 months. According to my sources you can ferment peppers for years if you are careful about not letting oxygen get to them!
