For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of serrano peppers or remove the seeds from the jalapeños. Use high-quality vinegar for the best flavor. Sterilize your jars or bottles properly to ensure a longer shelf life. If you want a smoother sauce, you can use a food mill instead of a strainer. Fermentation time may vary depending on the temperature of your environment. Taste the sauce daily and stop fermenting when it reaches your desired level of tanginess.

Feb 23, 2024Be careful when simmering – it can splatter! But so worth it for the end result.
