How do you make Hotsauce?
How do you ferment peppers?
Before you can make your own hot sauce, it is essential to understand how fermentation works. Fermentation is an ancient technique used to preserve food and develop flavors. When fermenting peppers, it is important to make a salty brine by adding 2% salt to the total weight of the water and peppers or other ingredients. Slice the peppers and put them in a glass jar, pour the brine over them and let nature do its work. What should you pay attention to with hot peppers?
Care must be taken when working with hot peppers. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the heat of the chilies and avoid contact with sensitive parts of your body. Ensure good ventilation while slicing and fermenting peppers to avoid pungent fumes.Tips & tricks
- Experiment with different types of peppers and spices to create unique flavor combinations.
