Ingredients:

  • 1 lb green hot peppers (jalapeno and serrano)
  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 2 cups room temperature water
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2 cups dill pickle brine (divided)
  • 5-10 large dill pickles
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare for Fermenting:
  • Wash a fermentation vessel with soap and hot water. Let it dry completely.
  1. Dice and Mix:
  • Coarsely dice the peppers and onion, and slice the garlic. Add these to the vessel along with the dried dill and mustard seed.
  1. Make Brine:
  • Dissolve sea salt in room temperature water and pour over the ingredients until they are just covered. Add more brine if needed.
  1. Ferment:
  • Weigh down the ingredients and secure the lid tightly. Ferment for 7-14 days, checking daily.
  1. Blend:
  • Once fermented, strain the vegetables and blend them with dill pickles, reserved brine, vinegar, and pickle juice until smooth. Add xanthan gum if desired.
  1. Adjust Flavor:
  • Adjust the taste with more brine, vinegar, or pickles as needed. Optionally, strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
  1. Store:
  • Transfer to jars or bottles and store in the refrigerator for up to 12 months.
