I love this! I've not tried this with chilli before, I don't know why I thought it would be more complicated than other lactic fermentation. Definitely bookmarked for next season.

Small tip for those who worry about such things: there's a *small* risk that if you use thinner plastic bags as your weight that some water could leak & reduce the salinity of your brine, potentially to the point where other species can grow. If you fill the bag with the same saline solution as you use in the rest of the jar, there's no risk of that, and the cost is perhaps a few pennies of salt. I hope that's useful to someone 😊

I like the plastic bag weight, simple and effective tip, a lot easier than the method we used when making our vinegar!

Yes please to every recipe you mentioned.

Very informative video. Thanks for this.. I Loved it!

Just finished making my first batch of sauce, your video is great and very simple to follow, thank you 😊

This is the next thing we are going to try from your channel! It'll have to be the scotch bonnet version though, because my husband is MAD on chillies! 😁 Personally we love the sweet fruity flavour of the Jamaican chillies, and we haven't had a decent chilli sauce since we were actually in Jamaica in 2016, so really looking forward to doing this in the new year. My husband and I cannot believe that your content is not recognised further, as it is such good quality. We are trying to help as much as we can by sharing etc.

Definitely giving this a try this summer/autumn guys! Looks delicious and I love that it’s shelf stable. 👍

Give us it all guys. Love this content 😁

Lovely lovely. Listening mid route back to Hungary and our self sufficient farm. Just driven 600 miles and stopped for a sleep. But have to listen to you first. Take care guys. Thanks for the video.

Love the channel, love the Moccona spice storage jar works a treat.

Hi Fiona and Hugh, very informative to someone who has done very little on the fermentation front. Love the idea of the bag with the water. For many years I have been using scrunched up greaseproof paper reduced to a small square and slotting into the top of the jars between the food and the lid i.e. for pickled onions and for keeping fruits under syrup. It has worked very effectively. There is also the sterilised beach pebble method as well. In our household the OH is the one who really likes it hot, hot hot so this may be something that I do as a surprise for him. He is diabetic and what I liked about this is that there is no sweetening so would be something he could indulge to his heart's content. I am mindful that he also has to have treats, but in a different fashion. Am always interested in any food produce you want to preserve as we can always learn from each other. I managed to get some Damsons yesterday and have Damson jam to make tomorrow and hopefully some Damson Gin as well. Keep up the fantastic work. I very much look forward to your posts. Kind regards to you both Tricia aka Pattypan

If you notice views from Northern California, that’s because I like to occasionally share your videos in my Facebook garden group. Next one I’m sharing is the tomato powder. That’s brilliant

I would love to make brown sauce and tomato ketchup. A video on that would be great.

Morning. Just finished watching this. Great. We dehydrate that leftover goodness in the sieve and use for meat rubs. As I said before. We like our meat rubbing powders. Worcester sauce would be great to see. Bye. Off through Germany now.

Great video! I’ve been wanting to make some of my own fermented hot sauce! And yes to videos of all the other wonderful things you mentioned!! 🌶

Hi, great vid thanks 👍. How do you spell the red chilli name and also do you have a preferred salt for fermenting?
One tip I received was to not clip the jar shut but rather use an elastic band to close the clip lid, this allows the lid to open enough to ‘burp’ when pressure builds in the jar but keep a good seal between ‘burps’.
Could you dehydrate the pulp to preserve it for future use, if so would you use it as a spice or rehydrate it first and use it like tomato paste?

[jessicareyneke]

Really enjoying your informative videos.. Not many in the uk! I'm assuming to keep the benefits of the good bacteria I would need to skip the last step of heating it? Would love to hear about other recipes you have for preserving savoury foods without canning. I would like to get into canning but seems a but expensive to get into in britain. Thanks again for a great video

[inbloom]

Absolutely perfect timing for me, I'm one week into fermenting some banana peppers and I hadn't yet decided how I was going to finish the sauce. I'll skip adding the brine back in and go for cider vinegar instead!

I'd love to see more preserving videos. I'm especially looking for ideas on ways to use sweet peppers (Mad Hatters in particular.)

[sharonpurcell]

I have grown habaneros this year (15p a packet from Wilko's in their seed sale) and they are too hot for me but I am going to try your recipe and will keep some back but give them as Christmas gifts. Great video by the way :)
