Unlock the Art of Craft Heat with The Leaping Pig Charcuterie
Stop buying generic hot sauce and start crafting your signature flavor!
Join Chef Jules Carney of The Leaping Pig Charcuterie for an intensive, 3-hour, hands-on culinary experience that transforms how you approach condiments. This class is designed for the curious novice and the experienced home cook alike, covering the essential techniques needed to create complex, balanced, and vibrant hot sauces from scratch.
This workshop focuses on three distinct methods - techniques you can apply to any pepper combination!
What You Will Master:
- The Fast-and-Fresh Bright Sauce: Learn the foundational cook-and-blend method. Master the essential balance of heat, acidity, and fresh flavor using high-impact citrus and aromatic peppers. This is the quickest way to bottle brilliance and infuse your food with instant zest.
- Introduction to Fermentation for Depth: Dive into the fascinating world of lacto-fermentation. We will demystify the science of creating complex, deeply savory, and gut-healthy sauces using simple brines. This technique adds an unparalleled layer of funk and flavor that defines the world's most popular artisanal sauces.
- The Smoky Charred Sauce: Elevate your ingredients by utilizing the roast-and-char method. Discover how fire and dry heat concentrate sugars and bring out incredible smoky, earthy notes in peppers and supporting vegetables, resulting in a rich, restaurant-quality condiment.
Transform your pantry: In just one evening, you'll gain the confidence and foundational knowledge to create an endless variety of sauces. You will leave with generous samples of every sauce made, comprehensive recipes, and detailed technique handouts so you can immediately begin your hot sauce journey at home!
Ages Requirement: Ages 14 & up. Kids between the ages of 10-13 may enroll with a registered adult.
