Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper fermented with pineapple and spices
This sauce started as my first fermenting project. For the first batch I used Bhut Jolokia White and Fatalii White chilies, but for the second batch I switched to Carolina Reaper and Ghost pepper.
For the fermentation step I left the chilies with pineapple, garlic, onions, cloves and anise sit in a saline solution for a few weeks. After the fermentation I cooked the mixture with some vinegar, honey and more spices like cumin, turmeric, coriander seeds and allspice.
The result is a spicy sauce with the fruity base of pineapple, savory notes from the spices and a lingering heat from the chilies. It goes very well with everything curry related, but also with grilled meats and vegetables.
