Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound of fresh, Fresno chile peppers
- 1 red bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
Instructions
- Wash the chiles and remove the stems
- Cut the peppers into 3-4 small pieces and add to a blender
- Add the garlic, brown sugar, salt, and water and pulse - just until everything is chopped uniformly.
- The mixture should be chunky - not a puree
- Pour into a glass container and loosely cover with plastic wrap
- Allow to ferment in a cool, dark, place for 3-4 days
- Each day, unwrap and stir. When you see a lot of bubbles (around day 4) it is ready.
- After 3-4 days, add the mixture to a blender with the vinegar and carefully puree until smooth
- Strain mixture into a saucepan and simmer on medium heat until it slightly thickens (about 20 min)
- Allow to cool to cool completely before bottling.
- Use a glass bottle with an air-tight lid or a recycled sriracha bottle to store.
- Should last several months in the fridge.
