Recommended Varieties From Sweet to Heat

Prep Ingredients

01 Select and prep your peppers and add-ins. Create a 3% brine for you ferment.

Pack Into Jar

02 Pour the brine over your pepper mixture and place a fermentation weight on top to ensure that everything remains submerged

Wait For Fermentation

03 Secure your lid and cover setup. Leave to ferment out of sunlight for at least a week, but I find the sweet spot around 2 weeks.

Strain & Blend

04 Strain your pepper mixture, reserving the brine, and blend them in a blender. Slowly add reserved brine and vinegar.
