Hi Mary! I'm sad to say that I actually don't have much exnprieece with canning at all. (It's always seemed like a project that my awkward kitchen isn't really suited for. Which is a shame because I'd really like to get some hands on exnprieece.) Anyway, I think that between the vinegar and the lactic acid from fermentation, the sauce has enough natural preservatives in it to keep it from spoiling for quite a while (although perhaps not at pantry temperature). But if you did want to go the extra mile and can it, I imagine it would work with a process similar to . I like the idea of incorporating the flavor of roasted jalapef1os into the sauce, but I'm curious what it would do to the fermentation process. I actually just bottled up another batch that underwent an 8-day fermentation from doubling the sugar and used smoked sea salt in place of plain kosher salt, and it is AMAZING. I've got a couple green pepper batches going right now following the same formula, plus one with a few Chinese lantern peppers thrown in that's undergoing a triple fermentation. The ones that contain mostly green jalapef1os smell extremely fruity right now, and I'm curious to see how they'll turn out. |
