What does letting it rest do?

Probably some kind of fermentation process

@@boredbytrash Exactly. It starts the fermentation process and gives the 'sauce' a fuller flavour with an ever so slight sourness.

It's just ground peppers. Thats not a sauce.

A sauce is any thick semi-solid liquid, hence apple sauce, and cranberry sauce.
