I was at the farmers market in Asheville last weekend and saw a guy selling fermented hot sauce with blueberries in it. I always thought fruit in hot sauce was a weird idea, but I tried a sample and it was amazing.

Fermented hot sauce with blueberries" sounds wild! I read that the sugar in fruit can really change how the heat feels.

Oh totally, that sugar thing is real. I made a mango habanero sauce last year and the fruit made the heat hit way different. It comes on sweet and smooth, then the burn kind of builds in the back of your throat instead of punching you right away. Letting it ferment for a full week really blended the flavors too, so it wasn't just spicy fruit juice. The blueberry idea sounds amazing for that same effect.
