  • 2 lbs hot peppers whatever mixture you want
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 tbsp organic cane sugar
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp powdered culture starter 2 tbsp whey or liquid from a previous ferment

Instructions
 

  • Wash the peppers
  • Cut off stems
  • Combine all ingredients in food processor and mix into a paste
  • Scoop into a mason jar (I used 1 1/2 pint jar but use what you have)
  • Put the lid on and leave at room temperature for 5-7 days
  • Once fermented, strain using a strainer (if the holes are big, you may want to use cheesecloth too)
  • Transfer the liquid to smaller bottles if desired.
  • Store in refrigerator or in cold storage such as a root cellar.
