Anyone point me to a basic but good recipe for chili sauce to start off with?

Salt, fermented peppers, vinegar. The rest is pretty optional. I detest garlic.

Thanks. Last few batches, well experiments I've done was based on this
How to Make Homemade Chiu Chow Chili Sauce
Chiu chow sauce or chao zhou sauce, is a condiment that you'll want to put on everything. A chili oil with lots of garlic, you won't believe how good it is.

However, fermented red chilis* turned out a lot better. That recipe's measurements wasn't so great so I eyeballed and used less flakes with a different approach.
*Leftovers are now chilling becoming vinegar

Rule of thumb with ferment is usually 2-3% of weight or 5-6 of salt, if you’re overly paranoid. If you strain your sauce you can use some xanthum gum to thicken it.Thanks. Last few batches, well experiments I've done was based on this

Damn, that sucks... It's so frustrating when something you've planned falls apart... I'm in a similar boat this season. Ordered a pack of chocolate bhut jolokia seeds from a reputable seed supplier, but out of the 12 seeds I germinated and nurtured over the last year, it seems like only one was an actual choc ghost pepper. I ended up with a pile of choc peppers that are about the same heat level as jalapeños, probably no more than 5000 SHU. They looked and smelled spicy, so I decided to pick one which I chopped finely with some garlic and covered with some white vinegar, and left in the fridge overnight before loading up two toasties the next day... Had no bite whatsoever... Pretty disappointed... I've grown quite a few varieties of super hots over the years and the original ghost pepper has always been my favorite to ferment, that, and birdseye... Great flavour profiles, never been a big fan of habaneros... I also only grow one variety each year so that I can save some seed stock that isn't cross-pollinated. However, over the years, I lost my original ghost pepper seeds and decided to do a choc variety this time, but as I mentioned, they were definitely not choc ghost peppers. And yes, the actual choc ghost pepper I got from my only plant blew my head off when I decided to do the same thing the following weekend...
Some harvest pics from today, including an actual choc ghost pepper from my only real plant (the other 20 or so pods are still ripening.) I'll probably only do a 500ml simple ferment, and the others I'll make into a chili jam since they are so mild...

My germination methods are not the issue, the seeds were mostly bunk. But thanks anyways.

How do they taste ? I see a onlyfans request
The smoky garlic one is almost finished, been using it on everything - need to email them and find out where they sell. The reaper one is indeed reserved for an onlyfans stream when my nipples are up for it.How do they taste ? I see a onlyfans request
