Fermented Ingredients (30 days):
• Hatch Peppers 360g
• Yellow Onions 126g
• Garlic 34g
• Brine 1/2 Cups

Fresh Ingredients:
• Sweet Onions 281g
• Green Bell Peppers 142g
• Garlic 52g
• Limes 3 Juiced
• Cilantro 19g
• Salt 1 tsp
• White Vinegar 1.5 Cups
• Tequila (Jose Cuervo White) 1.5oz
• Xanthan Gum 1/4 tsp

Saute the bell peppers and sweet onion in olive oil while you peel the garlic, adding that once the onions and bell start to char and lose color. Once the garlic browns add everything but he xanthan to the blender and blend on high for five minutes, then simmer for 20 minutes skimming the solids off the top. Cool, and reblend with the xanthan gum, bottle and refrigerate.

Notes:
• Hatch peppers roasted at Raley's grocery
• These were the '1904' hatch pepper batch which were their mild batch. I have two (?) medium and hot also
• I think my favorite variant of this recipe was the roasted hatch from Oct of 2023, I tried to stay pretty true to that recipe but this falls a bit short. Still trying to figure out why
• I added more limes finally but it still doesn't translate too well. Lots of citrus though, I get that's a bit of a contradiction
• No kick, as is expected
• Still a nice tang from the tequila and ferment
• Solid as always, just missing a bit of that magic. Why.

Notes:
• Dude it's been a while. I made this five months ago and am just now am getting around to the notes. I have a new pc and keyboard, fast but rigid making this a bit difficult
• First time using RB003 peppers, not as hot as reapers but very close
• Unmistakable tang from the ferment
• Sharp citrus followed buy warm sugar
• Balanced between heat and sweet
• Legit strain I'm looking to buy again
• Tropical flavors play nice, sugar is just enough submissive to the heat
