How to Make easy Homemade Hot Sauce with fresh peppers: 5 Must-Try Recipes - poppadomsfarm.com

Prep the Peppers: Wearing gloves, slice the chili peppers and remove stems (keep seeds for extra heat).

Create the Brine: Dissolve salt in water to create a simple fermentation brine.

Ferment: Place peppers, garlic, and onion in a glass jar, cover with brine, and press down with a fermentation weight. Cover loosely and store at room temp for 7-14 days.

Check Daily: Look for bubbles (a sign of healthy fermentation). If mold appears on top, skim it off.

Blend & Adjust: After fermentation, blend with vinegar and honey until smooth. Strain if you prefer a silky consistency.

Bottle & Store: Pour into sterilized glass bottles and refrigerate. Flavor deepens over time!
