Instructions
Preparing your fermentation
Rinse, de-stalk and halve the chilli peppers.
Cut the pears into small cubes and remove the seeds.
Chop the onion into small cubes.
Tightly pack all the ingredients into a jar.
Add your salt to the water and stir until dissolved to make your brine.
Cover your ingredients with the brine.
Leave to ferment for at least one month.
Making the sauce
Make sure you sanitize your equipment before starting to make the sauce. You can do this by adding your bottles and tops to a pot of boiling water for ten minutes.
Once your ingredients have fermented, drain the brine and keep it separate.
Add the chillies and pears to the blender and blend until smooth.
Once you have blended the chillies, you can add some brine back or add a little vinegar and continue blending to thin the sauce out to the consistency you prefer.
Add your mix to a saucepan and simmer on the stove for two minutes to stop the fermentation process.
