Homemade Sriracha Sauce

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time23 minutes
Servings: 8 people

Ingredients

  • 400 g red jalapeno peppers, stems cut off
  • 200 g red serrano peppers, stems cut off
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

Instructions

  • Chop jalapeno and serrano peppers, retaining seeds and membranes. Place into a blender with garlic, brown sugar, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, pulsing regularly.
  • Transfer puree into a large jar or jug. Cover it with plastic wrap or lid and place in a cool dark cupboard for 3 to 5 days, stirring once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Scrape down the sides during each stirring. Rewrap or seal after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until mixture is bubbly.
  • Pour fermented mixture back into blender with vinegar, and blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan, pushing as much of the pulp as possible through the strainer into the sauce. Discard remaining pulp, seeds, and skin left in strainer.
  • Place saucepan over a medium-high heat and bring sauce to a boil, stirring often for 5-10 minutes, until reduced to your desired thickness. If foam develops on the top then feel free to skim this.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and let sauce cool to room temperature, which help the sauce will thicken a little more. Transfer sauce to your choice of jar or bottle and refrigerate.
