Fiery fermented Habanero and Jalapeno garlic chili sauce. This is a breeze to whip together and so delicious. You will use this on everything from eggs, tacos, as a marinade or just with guac! I love making this at the end of the chili season here in N. Cal, so I can give away as gifts to my chili head friends and family for Christmas . Mix up the chilis and add your fave spices to your liking. Bonus–because we’re allowing this to ferment, your gut microbiome will be giddy to meet their new lactobacillus friends!

Recipe Notes
Pro tip: Use clean kitchen gloves when dealing with chili peppers. You do not want to touch your eyes or nether region once you’ve touched these babies.
Store in sterilized glass jars. I haven’t had an issue with mold, but always best to do what you can keep the bad bugs out. As with any fermented food, don’t be dippin in and out of the jar unless the utensil is clean. This is the best way to avoid contamination.
This is obvs a red chili sauce, but play with the greens. Sub green chilis for the reds here and add a tomatillo or two for the twang, and maybe add some coriander seeds. Yummers.
