- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

## Instructions

1. Place your fermenting jar onto your scales and set the weight to zero.
2. Slice the kiwis.
3. Roughly chop the green and red chilies.
4. Prepare the garlic cloves.
5. Add the kiwis, chilies, garlic, and coriander to the jar.
6. Top with water until all ingredients are just submerged.
7. Take the weight of your ingredients plus water and multiply it by 0.02%.
8. Add this amount of salt to make your brine base.
9. Place a weight on top so the ingredients stay submerged. You can use a kiwi for this.
10. Seal the jar tight.
11. Leave to ferment for 7-10 days in a warm room, burping regularly to release carbon.
12. Once fermented, drain the liquid into a bowl, keeping the liquid.
13. Blend the fermented ingredients.
14. Use the drained fiery liquid to thin the blended sauce to your desired consistency.
15. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to sweeten it up slightly and balance the spice.

## Tips

- The key to this hot sauce is in the brine, so make sure to keep that fiery liquid it's fermenting in and use it to thin out your sauce as you use up the ingredients.
- For a really smooth hot sauce, you can pass it through a sieve, but chunks are also good.
- Adjust sweetness with maple syrup to balance the spice.
