Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Fresno peppers stems removed
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1.5 Tbsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 C water
  • 1/2 C apple cider vinegar with the mother

Instructions

  • Combine the chile peppers, garlic cloves, salt and water in the food processor. Process until you reach the texture of chunky salsa.
  • Transfer to a clean glass jar. Cover with a canning lid & ring, or a ferment lid, or a cheesecloth with a rubberband. Leave on the counter at room temperature for 48 hours.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar & stir to combine. Leave on the counter, covered with cheesecloth for 7-21 days.
  • After that time, transfer to the blender & puree until smooth. Pour through a cheesecloth and strain to separate the seeds. Push the liquid out into a clean bowl.
  • Pour the liquid into a swing top bottle or clean glass jar & refrigerate. It'll last for several months.
  • Separation of the sauce will happen - it's normal. Just give it a good shake before you use it.
