How to make homemade hot sauce


Imagine making your own homemade fermented hot sauce with an explosion of flavor. In this episode I take you through how to make homemade hot sauce the old fashioned way without cooking and vinegar but with a salt brine.


I’ve been making this hot sauce for years now and use it so much I actually have been putting it in wine bottles so that I never run out. There are so many different variations that you can do to this recipe that it should blow your mind!  For the entire recipe listed out see the previous post, Fermented Jalapeno Hot Sauce Recipe.


I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoy hot sauce and also want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween!
