Equipment

  • Food Processor or high-powered blender
  • Gloves
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Glass Jar & Lid Quart-sized Mason jar
  • Funnel
  • Airlock or Pickle Pipe
  • Measuring Spoons & Cups

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds red jalapeno peppers or Fresno peppers
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 6 cloves garlic or more, to taste
  • 1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Prepare the peppers by removing the stems and seeds and placing them in the bowl of a food processor (or high-powered blender).
  • Add the salt, brown sugar and garlic to the bowl of the food processor and pulse until well blended.
  • Pour the pepper puree into a wide-mouth quart-sized Mason jar (using a funnel helps here).
  • Wipe the jar rim, if necessary, and add your airlock, pickle pipe or two-piece lid.
  • Let ferment at room temperature. Once daily, take a clean spoon and stir the ferment.
  • After you start seeing bubbles, allow it to ferment for a few more days until you notice the liquid stops increasing and starts to reduce slightly. (This is your sign the fermentation process is complete.)
  • Pour fermented sriracha into a high-powered blender and add 1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar. Blend until completely smooth.
  • Transfer to a clean jar or hot sauce bottle and store in the refrigerator.
