How to Make Fermented Banana Hot Sauce

This fermented banana hot sauce is packed with tropical fruit flavor, perfectly complemented by the high heat of habaneros. It also comes out a gorgeous yellow color. And because bananas are so dense, they act as a stabilizer when all the ingredients in this recipe are blended together, yielding a tremendously creamy consistency. The finished hot sauce is just begging to be added to tacos, eggs, pizza-anything that would benefit from added spice and complexity. To turn down the heat on this hot sauce, feel free to swap in Fresno peppers instead of habaneros. Or, simply decrease the number of habaneros you add in. In this video, Erica from FarmSteady shows you how to make fermented banana hot sauce at home.

My list of recipes to try is growing. I always have bananas at home. My favorite fruit is pear 🍐

Won’t the vinegar stop the fermentation and kill off those gut healthy lacto bacteria?

[@FarmSteady]

Not at this ratio - but you can also skip the vinegar and blend with more brine.

@@FarmSteady great, thanks for the answer.

Can you safely let it ferment longer?

[@FarmSteady]

Absolutely. And many hot sauces are. When we are using fruit we like to blend after 2-3 weeks to maintain those more vibrant fruit notes.

Update: Three ripe bananas, a bunch of habaneros, half brown onion, and 4 garlic cloves. Water and veggies total weight = 1350g. Used about 30g salt. Fermented for five days. Strained. Half cup of brine. Half cup of white vinegar. Blended.
We had a party for son's eighth grade graduation and served tacos. I got a lot of raised eyebrows when I described the hot sauce: "bananas and habaneros". But the sauce was a hit! Very negligible banana flavor, but somehow the combination elevates the habaneros.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
