Inspired by boredom, an unreasonable affinity for all things vinegary, and a
|
|
friend doing neat pickle stuff, I've decided to try making some fermented hot
|
|
sauce. It's the first time I've fermented something, so it should be a learning
|
|
experience, if nothing else.
|
|
|
|
The [recipe](https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/fermented-hot-sauce)
|
|
I'm following is pretty simple, but my impatience and cheapness may impact the
|
|
outcome. I don't have any jars that are as big as they recommend, so I split it
|
|
into two that are, _cleverly_, not the same size. The big jar doesn't have
|
|
the right lid anymore, so the wrong one is currently held in place with
|
|
shoelace. And, to be extra confident in the seal, I slapped some books on top
|
|
of it. Another job well done.

Plus, apparently I can't read, because I ordered white cooking wine instead of
|
|
white wine vinegar. So, that bodes well. I don't need it until the end, so I've
|
|
got time to pick up the right stuff, but still.
|
|
|
|
I have no idea how this will turn out, but I'm pretty excited to see! Just a
|
|
week of waiting.
