This video is all about fermenting peppers (and other fresh produce). Lacto-fermentation is an excellent preservation method that also has health benefits. The unique, acidic, funky flavors produced in a ferment are incredible.

In this video, I put together a very simple Belizean style fermented hot sauce. The ingredients are just peppers, onion, carrots, garlic, and salt. The flavor came out amazing! Patience is required to get good results, but the wait is well worth it.
