Fermented Hot Sauce

A drizzle of this hot sauce over eggs, soups or salads kicks the flavour up a notch. We love the spicy-sweet effect achieved by adding a dash of maple syrup, but you can leave it out if you like plain heat. This small batch hot sauce is a good place to start if you are new to fermenting. Using relatively few, inexpensive ingredients, the stakes are lower!

Notes

Wearing a pair of disposable gloves is a good way to protect your hands from burning while preparing the chillies.
Any pieces of chilli that are not fully submerged under liquid may grow mould, so make sure they are fully covered.
