On Oct 13 I started a quart jar of whizzed up red jalapenos with a few small, red Big Jims thrown in using a recipe for Sriracha from
https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/c...-sauce-recipe/

This was my first attempt and some of you may recall I used frozen jalapenos from the garden and I was advised to add some fresh peppers to get the fermentation going. I did that and it worked well.

Yesterday I finished it and it's now in the reefer. The recipe made a pint and a half pint.

I really like it! The heat isn't too hot at all. It's probably not what you chili heads would want but hot enough for me. Nice fruity pepper flavor. I think this coming spring I will plant more jalapenos to make sure I have enough for more sauce making. I will also can some of it next year and then compare the taste of canned vs refrigerated.
