Fermented Passion Fruit and Habanero Hot Sauce

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Habaneros
  • 10 oz Sweet banana peppers
  • 3 Passion fruits (strained)
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Stem the peppers and peel the garlic. Then place in a blender along with the strained passion fruit and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer blended hot sauce to a clean glass jar with either an air lock, a cheesecloth, or a regular jar lid. Put it somewhere cool and dark and let sit for a few weeks (I usually let mine go for 3, but you can go longer if you'd like).
  • Check on your hot sauce regularly. If it starts to bubble, don't be alarmed - that's a good sign and means that there's some fermentation action happening. If the sauce starts to develop air pockets from the carbonation, push them down with a spoon. If you used a regular jar lid, you'll want to open it daily (or every couple of days) to release some air. This is known as burping.
  • Make sure to also try your hot sauce every so often. Once you're happy with the flavor, mix in 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, then add a lid and move to the fridge.
