I’m curious what you like and how you use them in food.

    I make a big batch of fermented hot sauce every year around the holidays and give them out as gifts; it seems to always be a hit.

    I pretty much follow the same recipe and process that you mentioned, but I never have gone above 3% salt. I wouldn’t have expected up to 6% (let alone 10%) to allow the acid producing bacteria to survive, but I guess they’re pretty tolerant.

      I’m on 2%. And 2% of the weight of the produce, not water! Also add some other stuff in there. Mango this time round. Some spices at any point of the process too
