- Step 2: Create the Brine. In a mixing bowl, combine kosher salt with filtered water and stir until dissolved.
- Step 3: Combine Peppers and Brine. Place peppers in a glass jar, pack tightly, and pour the brine over them, ensuring they are submerged.
- Step 4: Cover and Ferment. Secure the jar with an airlock lid or cloth cover and leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Step 5: Blend the Sauce. Pour the mixture into a blender, add vinegar, and blend to your desired consistency.
