Blueberry TKO

This sauce was made from tons of habaneros with a strong sweet blueberry flavor. When I first tried it, I said, “It’s like getting punched in the mouth by a blueberry.” I wanted to name this sauce after that initial reaction, but my wife convinced me that Blueberry Punch in the Face might not be the best name. The name Blueberry TKO conveyed the same meaning in a better way. This was part of the 2020 Season Sauces.

Heat Level: Super Hot
Fermentation Type: Brine
Pepper Base: Habanero

A bottle of Blueberry TKO. The orange habaneros and blueberries combined for a great purple color.

Preparing the Sauce

All the ingredients (blueberries, habaneros, and onions) in a brine fermentation.

All the delicious ingredients after two or three weeks of fermentation. I drained the brine and then added some back in to the sauce as needed to keep the sauce pourable.

Original Artwork

The artwork for this sauce was by my oldest daughter. I loved the boxing match between two blueberries – it captured the theme of the sauce really well.
