I’ve been delving into making hot sauces lately, and no matter how much I blend, it comes out more like very finely diced salsa rather than a sauce, with little tiny shreds of everything I put in there. Anyone in the community have any suggestions on how to sauce it up? Also, any suggestions on how to thicken a sauce without making it chunky?
Usually I strain it. The tool I use is called 'flotte lotte' in German. And then I take the strained rest and press it through a nut milk sack and press every little precious drop of juice out. The residue of that process is quite dry already. Sometimes I dry this further in the oven and grind into a powder as a spice. But the drying process leaves the kitchen in a firey hot breeze. My wife hates it when I do this.
