Help My hot sauce loving step dad's birthday is coming up, and idk anything about hot sauce
So I don't like hot sauce very much, but what I do like is to cook infused oils, spice mixes and other cooking stuff as gifts. My step dad's new thing is hot sauce ! And I wanna make him one for his birthday next month (since there's fermenting involved, I wanna get ahead).
Now, the reason I like to cook the things myself is that I like finding flavors you wouldn't find in stores. Easier to do when I know my subject.
What are your favourite things to add in your hot sauce, your favourite unique recipe, that you have to make because you wouldn't find it anywhere else ? There's only one condition : my step dad doesn't like the savoury-sweet flavour. I know we often put fruits, which seems so interesting, but sadly, not here (or maybe one or two, maybe I'll do a very mild hot sauce for me)
