In this video, I’m going to show you How To Ferment Hot Sauce. I used the lacto-fermentation process for this Scotch Bonnet & Mango Hot Sauce. The flavors were amazing, and the process is super simple.

Here is the easy recipe and how to process for the Lacto-Fermented, Scotch Bonnet x Mango Hot Sauce:
Disinfect all storage vessels, and prepare your brine. 3.5% kosher salt to the purified water. I used 1000g of water, so 35g of kosher salt.
Ingredients:
6 Scotch Bonnet Peppers, quartered
1/2 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 inch ginger, skin removed, chopped
3 garlic cloves
1/2 mango, chopped
Add all ingredients to a 1 qt mason jar, and use only enough brine to cover vegetables/fruit. Cover with fermentation weight or zip lock bag method. Store in a room temperature area for 1-2 weeks. Check periodically and you should see some CO2 bubbles and cloudy water. If you notice any mold forming, discard the project and start over.
Once the desired flavor is reached, or the acidity has reached a PH level of 3.4 or below… strain veggies/fruit from brine. Add items to blender, and reincorporate brine until desired thickness/texture is reached. I used about 1/2 my brine liquid for this hot sauce. Blend until smooth.
Pour hot sauce into individual flip-top bottles, with a funnel. Store in the fridge for better results, and to stop the fermentation process. Finally, pour over everything and DEVOUR!
