The first fermenting jar of 2019. Chillies are a mix of homegrown Madame Jeanette, homegrown Trinidad Perfume and Peach Habaneros from the South Devon Chilli Farm. Even the scraps are stunning.

Take off the stalks, half the chillies, scrape out the seeds and pith. Place in a sterilised jar. Add peeled garlic, salt and water. Screw on lid. Place a plate underneath. Shake twice a day. Wait for the bubbles.
