How To Make Fermented Jalapeños
  1. In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, add 1 quart of water and 2.5 tablespoons of salt. Stir and allow to dissolve. Set aside to cool.

  2. Slice jalapeños and add to a clean mason jar.

  3. Once the brine has cooled down for a few minutes then pour over jalapeños.

  4. If you have any leftover brine from a previous ferment, add a tablespoon or so to the jar of peppers.

  5. Place weight on top to submerge the jalapeño peppers in the brine, Make sure all of the peppers are completely submerged.

  6. Place a fermenting lid on top and leave at room temperature for at least 5 days.

  7. Check at day 3 if the fermentation is to your liking. Check again at day 5. If it is to your liking place a lid on it and store it in the fridge. If it has not, than leave it at room temperature for another 5 days. Checking the rate of fermentation daily.
