How To Make Fermented BBQ Sauce
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Add the mix into a jar and ferment for 3-5 days, or to your liking for sweetness and acidity. We recommend using an airlock to prevent oxygen and bad bacteria from entering your ferment.
- If you are using a secure lid, screw your lid on and burp your sauce every 12-24 hours depending on how active it is.
- If you are using an airlock, you should notice activity in the airlock within the first 24 hours.
