Probably the best hot sauce recipe I've tried. I used a mix of habaneros and Fresno peppers.

In reply to Kassi. Hi Kassi - It's normal for *green* chilis, like serranos. I recommend using fully ripe red chilies, such as cherry bells, fresnos, habaneros, etc.

I made up a few batches and it tastes good but… earthy? Is that normal for fermented serranos? I had it going for about six months and meant to blend it about a month ago but never found the time. Next time I’ll ferment a shorter time.

This came out delicious. I strained it and had a thin hot sauce and I used the mash as a dip for chips. Next batch I will experiment with a few of your added ingredients.

This was a really easy recipe, I doubled the garlic and used habaneros with a few ghost peppers I found at the store. It was SO hot, but so good.

Ours came out great. It was really hot, since I used mostly habanero peppers, but I would definitely make it again (except that the recipe makes so much, it'll probably be a while).

Even though I modified the recipe at the end, I followed the recipe as is and my husband loved it. I added cashews, cayenne pepper and avocado oil for a “Buffalo”-flavored sauce. Excellent recipe. Can be used in so many ways.

In reply to Stacey.

thanks for this write-up. I'm enjoying a nice bloody mary I added my end result to for a spicy kick. I found after a few weeks i had to go outside to burp the jar or the whole house would smell funky (in a good way). After a 3 week ferment i did opt to just drain and rinse off the brine - i felt i had reached a funk level i was happy with and just like a home-brew there was a layer of dead yeast at the bottom i thought would throw off the flavor.

In reply to Katie. Hi Katie, Add any additional ingredients to the ferment. HTH!

In reply to Jenny. Can I just ask whether the variations you suggest (Hibiscus flowers, allspice and pineapple for example) - are these ingredients added to the initial ferment or after when whizzed up for bottling?
