Storing Hot Sauce

18 years ago

*also posted in hot pepper forum*

Is pH the only thing that matters when deciding to store hot sauce in the refrigerator or pantry? Here's what I am working with...

Pineapple Habanero Sauce

1 Pineapple, diced

25 Habaneros, seeded

2 teaspoons salt

1 cup vinegar

1/2 cup lemon juice

Combine in blender, liquify. Heat to boiling, simmer, bottle into 5oz woozies. Yield was 6 bottles - about 30 oz.

The pH measures 3.3...does this mean it is safe to keep at room temperature? Lemon juice has a lower pH but has an expiration date and you refrigerate it after opening it. I've got this batch in the refrigerator, but I'm planning on making more of this sauce, and several other flavors, but would end up pretty short on fridge space.

Thanks for your help!!
