While this hot sauce takes a few days to develop it's full flavor, it takes very little effort and yields loads of hot sauce that are both, alive and zingy. Give it a try with whatever combination of peppers you enjoy. Depending on your comfort level, you can leave all the seeds in or remove them all. Since this is a hot sauce and you may only enjoy a small amount at any given time, see if you want to push it towards the hotter side. Either way, just have fun with the ingredients!
Ingredients
1 pound peppers of your choice (hot, mild, a combination, whatever you may enjoy)
1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger
3-5 cloves or garlic
3-6 dates or 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice
1 tbsp salt
2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
potentially more salt/sweetener
Optional: 1/2 cup of water
Method
In a blender or food processor add all ingredients through the vinegar. Pulse until you get a coarse puree.
Add puree to a mason jar or bowl and cover loosely with a lid or a plate if using a bowl.
Leave at room temperature for 3-5 days, stirring it every day to ensure the top layer gets incorporated. You should see bubbles form towards day 2 or 3. You can try it every day to see if you like the result.
When done, add the puree back to the blender jar with the rest of the ingredients and puree until smooth. Taste and re-season if need be then fill into either bottles or small jars. These will keep in the fridge for a while.
Enjoy!
