A versatile and tasty recipe that’s quick to prepare and easy to enjoy.

Course: Others

Ingredients

  • peaches
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • water
  • salt
  • Serrano peppers optional for extra heat

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean and cut ripe peaches. Cut and remove seeds from jalapenos. You can add some curry leaves as I did, any other spice if you’d like. Or try chopped onions for a more savory flavor.
  2. Weigh the peaches and peppers in grams. Multiply by .03 to determine how much salt (in grams) you need to add.
  3. Place produce and salt in a vacuum bag. Shake to mix in salt and spread evenly in bag. Use the vacuum sealer to remove air and seal.
  4. Once the bag puffs up, your peaches and peppers are fermented. You can also wait a few days to enhance flavor.
  5. Place peaches and peppers in jar and refrigerate. When you’re ready to use the sauce, take out the portion you need and process in blender until smooth.

Notes

  • Like it really hot? Or not so hot? Adjust the number of peppers to your liking.
  • Try adding this sauce to salsas or sauces to add more dimension/make store bought versions your own.
  • Use as a quick marinade for meats or vegetables.
  • You can use this fermentation method to experiment with other fruits. Try substituting fresh mango for the peaches and blend in fresh herbs, like cilantro.
