2023 was the year of the hot pepper at My Friend’s Farm. In February we planted 40 varieties of peppers from seed. Did we overdue it? Definitely maybe. We still had quite an abundance of peppers to harvest once the farmer’s markets had wrapped up for the year. After making pickled peppers, salsas, and hot pepper jam; dehydrating peppers, freezing peppers; and eating peppers, we were still up to our eyeballs in peppers! The only thing left to make was hot sauce, something we’d dabbled in but had never tried the fermenting route. We collected research from recipe books and blogs, videos and learned a lot from r/FermentedHotSauce. We’ve compiled our notes and tips we’ve learned along the way for anyone interested in trying out our recipes!
