HOW TO MAKE HOT SAUCE | DIY kit review & demo

How Do You Make Hot Sauce Whats It Made Of

The traditional way of making hot sauce involves fermenting either straight hot peppers or a mix of hot and sweet peppers and other aromatic veggies . When the fermentation time is up, the whole shebang is blended with vinegar until smooth as silk. To help keep the hot sauce from separating, emulsifiers are usually used during the blending processwe recommend xanthan gumwhich keeps the hot sauce smooth when bottled.

Salt Ratio For Fermentation:

Having the right proportion of salt to water is important. Not enough salt may allow unhealthy bacteria to grow. Too much salt will kill all the bacteria and the chilies wont ferment. If you need to add more water to the jar, then add salt accordingly.

Use 1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt per 1 cup of water.

Here I used 5 cups of water, so I added 1 1/4 teaspoon salt x 5 cups water = roughly 6 1/4 teaspoons of fine ground sea salt. Heating the water slightly helps the salt dissolve.

Step Three: Combine! Pour the saltwater brine over the chilies and push them down so they are completely submerged under the brine.

Step Four: Weigh down the chilies. You can use a fermentation weight, like this version that I really like, that will fit perfectly into a mason jar, to keep everything submerged.

Or in a pinch, a zip lock bag filled with water can be used as a weight, just place this over top.

The water in the bag will be work as the fermentation weight here.

Here you can see Im working on a mild green hot sauce which is in the fermenting phase still.

Step Five: Place a lid on top-leaving it loose. You want the fermentation gasses to be able to escape while keeping creatures out. A couple of layers of cheesecloth also works here.

Step Six: Place the jar in a bowl or pan to catch any liquid that may spill over, and place it in a cool dark place, like a basement. If you dont have a basement, or dark cool place, a lower cupboard in the kitchen is an option.

Whats The Best Way To Preserve Homemade Hot Sauce Can It Freeze It

Hot Sauce Making Kit DIY Kit NZ

If youd like to preserve your hot sauce for longer storage, you can either freeze it or process it in a waterbath canner . A caveat here: the beneficial bacteria created in the fermented version will be killed off by the high heat from the canning process. Itll still be delicious, it just wont add any probiotics into your diet.

The Hot Chili Peppers:

DIY HOT SAUCE MAKING KIT | LIVE

You can make hot sauce from green chilies or red/orange ripe chilies. The main differences will be the color of the sauce, the heat level, sweetness, and flavor of the peppers themselves.

I love making hot sauce from my home grown chilies and varieties I buy at my local farmers market. But Ive also made them with hot peppers from the grocery store and it turns out great that way as well!

Different chiles have different water content. Some are fleshier and contain more water, while some have thinner skins. Some peppers contain more seeds and others are more hollow.

Because of this your hot sauce may end up being thicker or thinner, and if its too thick you can add water or vinegar to thin.

Sometimes I like to strain out the pulp for a thinner more watery hot sauce, and other times I leave the pulp in for a thicker hot sauce !

Basically, you can use this method to make hot sauce with any hot chili peppers, but feel free to adjust it to meet your own preferences!

Other than having different textures, as you know different peppers have varying spice levelsyouve heard of the scoville scale? Spicier peppers will make hotter hot sauce, and milder peppers will make milder hot sauce.

If I have a lot of really hot chiles, such as habaneros, I like to mix them with some milder chiles.

Ive made this hot sauce with cherry bomb peppers, cayenne peppers, habaneros, and tabasco peppers. And combinations of them.

My Process To Make Hot Sauce Is Simple

First, you add a bunch of hot peppers, garlic, , salt and water to a food processor and chop it coarsely to make a thick and pulpy salsa.

Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar, cover it with cheese cloth, and place a rubberband around the lip to hold it in place.

Set aside for 24 hours to kick start the fermentation, then stir in the vinegar and let it ferment for a weekstill covered with cheese cloth.

At that point, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until fairly smooth.

If you want a thinner hot sauce or your blender cant make the sauce smooth enough, you can strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer. For a thin and smooth hot sauce you can run it through a cheesecloth lined strainer to remove all pulp. Make sure to squeeze out all the liquid from the pulp if you use cheesecloth!

If you want to keep the pulp, just add more water to thin it out the desired consistency while youre blending.

How To Make Fermented Hot Sauce:

Step one: Fill a 2-quart jar with any type of fresh hot chili, onions, garlic and thinly sliced carrot. You can use bell peppers to temper the hot chilis if you want a milder version. Just stick with the same color palette so your fermented hot sauce stays colorful and vibrant.

In this recipe, I used Padrone Peppers, a Spanish variety that had turned red, which I found at our farmers market. But feel free to use any kind you want or a blend. Youll need about 1 pound in total.

Step two: Make a saltwater brine, using 1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, per cup of warm water.

Why I Prefer Fermenting Over Canning:

Fermentation creates ALIVE food- but must be refrigerated .

Fermented foods are incredibly rich in probiotics. These good bacteria are living creatures that work with our microbiome to improve digestion, boost immunity and help us maintain a healthy weight.

I prefer fermentation over canning because canning kills all the healthy bacteria and also halts the development of flavor. Fermentation keeps these healthy bacteria alive, and as a result, the fermented food actually tastes better and better with time!

Because fermented things are stored in the fridge they will remain healthy and active, continuing to ferment at a very slow rate.

Our bodies love foods packed with healthy probioticsgood bacteriaanother way to boost our gut health.

Do You Want Your Hot Sauce Sweeter

Sometimes sweetness balances out the spicy and brings out flavor even more. You can add sugar to the final hot sauce to taste or do it by adding sugar containing vegetables to the sauce.

For flavor and a bit of natural sweetness, add chopped onion* when you first chop up the chilies and garlic. Or you can add a carrot at this point! Carrot is a great earthy tasting, natural sweetener.

*Doesnt really what kind of onion you use, but white and yellow onions wont muddy the color of the final sauce like red onions might.

You could try making a mango hot sauce by rehydrating dried mango and blending it into the final sauce. This is really nice with a spicy sauce like habanero hot sauce.

But My Hot Sauce Is Way Too Hot

Dont be too alarmed if your hot sauce tastes overly hot when you first go to store it. A week or two in the fridge and the gradual slow fermenting will mellow out the heat substantially! Its actually quite surprising. Many a time Ive made a hot sauce and tried it thinking there is no way we would be able to eat it because of the heat level. But after a week or two it really does calm down the heat. Fermenting the hot sauce gives it another layer of flavor, adding more and more complexity. This will keep indefinitely in the fridge.

    Why Is The Brine Cloudy

    A cloudy brine is a natural by-product of the fermentation process-a combination of lactic acid and yeast and is the reason why they call it Lacto-fermentation.

    Various strains of bacteria are present on the surface of all plants, especially ones growing close to the ground. Lactobacillus bacteria convert sugar into lactic acid, preserving the peppers.

    Lactic acid prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. Over time the cloudiness can settle out of the brine to the bottom of the jar. Some batches are naturally cloudier than others, but all are safe to consume.

    A cloudy brine is a sign that you have a safe, successful, and tasty ferment.

    Step 7: Blend! Strain the brine, saving it. Add the strained chilies/carrots/garlic to the blender with one cup of brine and blend until smooth. At this point, you can add herbs, spices . Add a little splash of Braggs apple cider vinegar if you like and more brine to desired consistency.

    If you like the idea Sriracha, you could also make it sweet by adding sugar or honey, and perhaps ginger. You could also add herbs.

    Step 8: Store! For everyday use store the fermented hot sauce in squeeze bottles leaving the tip open in the fridge. The hot sauce will continue to ferment in the fridge, and the open tip will allow the gasses out. Before using, cover the tip with your finger and give it a shake.
