fermented jalapeno

If you&#039;ve never had fermented jalapeño hot sauce before, you&#039;re in for a treat! It is a little spicy without being overwhelmingly so, a little tangy, and with a depth of flavor that is incomparable!

Fermented Jalapeño Hot Sauce

green jalapeños (roughly chopped, seeded if desired)

celery heart and leaves (roughly chopped)

onion (small diced)

garlic (minced)

coriander seeds

non-chlorinated water

Salt

Add the chopped jalapeños, celery hearts, onions, garlic, and coriander seeds to a large bowl, and mix it all together.

Pack the vegetables into a clean Ball® Wide Mouth Quart Jar, leaving 2 inches (5 cm) of headspace.

Then put all of the chopped veggies into a Ball® Wide Mouth Quart Jar, packing it in as much as possible. Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of headspace at the top of the jar.

Make the brine by dissolving the salt into the water. Pour that over the vegetables in the jar to cover them by 1 inch (2.5 cm). You may have some extra brine left over.

Place the fermentation spring on top of the vegetables, flat side down, to keep them submerged under the brine, then twist the lid on.

Wipe the jar down and cover it with a cloth. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

Fermentation is complete in 2 weeks. For a stronger flavor, you can leave it to ferment for up to 3 weeks total.

Once the hot sauce has fermented to your liking, remove the spring from the jar. Strain the vegetables from the brine, saving the brine in a bowl.

Add all of the vegetables and 1/2 cup of brine to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth, adding more brine as necessary to thin if desired.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Fermented Jalapeno Peppers are an easy way to add a spicy and sour flavour to your meal.&nbsp;Lacto-fermented peppers are also more nutritious than raw Jalapenos as they feature healthful benefits such as probiotics.&nbsp;

Once your Jalapeno peppers are sliced, add the raw peppers to a mason jar so they are 1 inch from the top.&nbsp; 

Prepare a salt brine by dissolving salt in water.&nbsp; 

Pour brine into the mason jar until the peppers are covered.&nbsp; 

Optional: add any additional flavourings such as pickling spices or raw garlic.

Put the lid on the jar and store at room temperature in a dark place like your closet or cupboard.

Open the jar once a day to release carbon dioxide. Fermentation fans call this "burping." 

Continue this process for 3-4 weeks until fermentation bubbles no longer form.&nbsp; 

Move the fermented Jalapeno peppers to your fridge once fermentation has completed and enjoy for the next 3-6 months.

Fermented jalapeño honey is a perfect way to spice up your life while boosting your immune system at the same time! Jalapeños and raw honey both have health and medicinal benefits, and now is a great time to access them in this deliciously spicy natural ferment.

Fermented Jalapeño Honey

jalapeño peppers (approximately)

raw honey (or more as needed)

Slice jalapeños, removing some or all of the seeds and ribs if desired.

Place the sliced peppers into a wide mouth pint sized mason jar until it is 1/2-3/4 full.

Add enough honey to completely cover the jalapeños. Make sure they are coated with honey.

Screw the cap on tightly and flip to coat all of the jalapeños with the honey. Loosen the lid on the jar to let gasses escape, then tuck it into a dark place. Flip daily.

The honey jalapeños will ferment for about a week or two. It may or may not bubble a little. You will know it&#39;s ready when it the honey has become much runnier.
