Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

One of the best things I've got from Costco was a Roasted Pineapple & Habanero Sauce.



Though, they tend to run out of it because it's so popular and it's a bit pricey. Also, they use a bit too much sugar for my tastes.

Ingredients: Sugar, Pineapples (Pineapples, Pineapple Juice, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid), Lemon Juice (from concentrate), Cider Vinegar, Onions, Yellow Bell Peppers, Red Bell Peppers, Habanero Peppers, Mangos, Xanthan Gum, Natural Flavor.

So over the summer I decided to make my own and preserve it in these little canning jars, and stored them on top of the kitchen cabinets to look pretty until I needed to open one up. Still have quite a few left and a little goes such a long way.

I love the sweetness of the pineapples with the kick of the habanero. I wasn't able to get it to taste quite as good as what I bought, but I'd guess it's 5% close. A little too much heat, but I'm a fan spicy food. Also happy that I can control the amount of sugar I want to use.

I can't wait to try again, I love this stuff.

That's for hating on milk chocolate. It's awesome over here.

Meant the new 3DS coming out next month >.>

Sugar as the 1st ingredient?

oh 'murica, never change.

You should work on your cooking skills and try to reverse engineer the recipe, that's what I usually try doing with sauces cause I find them lacking heat, or they are too sweet, etc.

I don't live there <.< so I don't know if I'd like it or not.

That's what I said I did :O It tastes pretty close, about a 5% difference I'd say, and I don't use very much sugar at all and it still has it's sweetness from the pineapple.

Mmm... Marabou

(Sapphire gets it)

(if she hates on it I'll find her and swipe her too)

Is that the one with the RF TAG read hardware for the amiibos ?

I was like... Ooooooooo!

...but then I saw the name; Rothschild.

yea

I like only using raw sugar for sauces if I need to add some for glaze/sauce/marinade/stirfry. Carmelizes better if you cook with it i think.
Also my favorite way to add peppers(jalapeno/habanero) to sauces and stuff is to shred it with a cheezegrater instead of mincing it with a knife.

.-.?!

I completely agree with grating, it spreads it out so much more evenly and you don't get those super hot spots.

90% of the chocolate aisle in sweden stores is marabou brand, you have no choice but to like it! :P

(seriously yeah its so much better than that hersheys plastic garbage chocolate in the states)

Marabou brain

Anyone know a early way to grind some sphere levels out around the Thunder Planes in FFX? They seriously gave me Rikku with only 360 HP >_>

You can probably buy Marabou at Ikea, I bought Swedish mustard there lol (I only like 'Slotts original') >.>

multitasking typos are bad mkay

Every time I go to the store I see one of these:



I mean... why? No other company does this. Are you trying to say?

Look at us! Our chocolate is so cheaply made you can buy 5 pounds for 40 dollars! or however much they cost.

Is Kali pregnant?

YOU HAVE 5LBS CHOCOLATE BARS?!

/offended

You can get 1lb reese peanut butter cups :3

I'm sorry. .-.

x.x;........ what

The town I live in could have been Hershy's HQ. The guy that opened the whole thing actually applied to open the factory here, but the town board shot him down because "Having factory workers carrying lunchpails to work would make the town have a poor appearance".

I have this thing that bothers me about reese peanut butter cups.
When I was a teenager I used to love them, they had a particular texture and smoothness to them and a taste that is deeply implanted in my memory.
Fast forward 10+ years later, something about them changed and they taste different enough that I don't really like them anymore because I can tell they messed with the recipe (maybe ditched cocoa butter and the texture of the peanut butter texture is amiss).

Its been really hard to find a good peanut butter cup chocolate that matches the distant yet vivid memory of the ones I loved long ago ._.
