Ingredients

  • 1 pound aji peppers fermented – I used Aji Habanero peppers (Learn How to Ferment Chili Peppers Here)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic chopped
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to a small pot and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Cool a bit, then process it all in a food processor blender.
  3. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve and bottle it up. You can discard the pulp or use it for soups or stews, or dehydrate it for seasoning.

Notes

  • Makes about 6 ounces of hot sauce.
  • Heat Factor: Medium. You can heat this up with hotter aji peppers.
