Smoky and sharp, this hot sauce mellows over time, so the longer you let it ferment, the more the flavour will transform and deepen. Fermented foods are packed with probiotics and are great for your digestive health, so you can feel good about smothering every meal in this spicy sauce. The addition of sugar not only helps to offset the heat but also feeds the good bacteria that do the fermenting for you. Once the brine has been added to the jars with the rest of the ingredients, set aside for 7 days for the initial ferment, then follow the recipe below. Just remember to unscrew the jars and pat the bottom lightly every day or so during the 7-day ferment - this prevents a build-up of gas and will keep your jars from exploding. This recipe makes enough sauce to fill 1 x 500 ml jar. Make sure your jar is sterilised by running it through a dishwasher or rinsing it with boiling water and then drying it at a low temperature the oven.
