Fermented Jalapeno Peppers
Fermented Jalapeno Peppers are an easy way to add a spicy and sour flavour to your meal. Lacto-fermented peppers are also more nutritious than raw Jalapenos as they feature healthful benefits such as probiotics.

Ingredients
- 3 cups Jalapeno Peppers sliced
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons salt
Instructions
- Once your Jalapeno peppers are sliced, add the raw peppers to a mason jar so they are 1 inch from the top.
- Prepare a salt brine by dissolving salt in water.
- Pour brine into the mason jar until the peppers are covered.
- Optional: add any additional flavourings such as pickling spices or raw garlic.
- Put the lid on the jar and store at room temperature in a dark place like your closet or cupboard.
- Open the jar once a day to release carbon dioxide. Fermentation fans call this "burping."
- Continue this process for 3-4 weeks until fermentation bubbles no longer form.
- Move the fermented Jalapeno peppers to your fridge once fermentation has completed and enjoy for the next 3-6 months.
