  • If you have the time/space and fresh chilies available to you, lacto fermenting chilies with some spices and garlic, then blending them makes for amazing hot sauces that you can tailor to your tastes. It’s remarkably easy and safe to do.

      I did this with habaneros, onion, and garlic and it turned out amazing. Only thing I would change would be stopping the fermentation at like 7-10 days instead of letting it go for two and a half weeks. Too fermented for me, but my friends love it.
