A few years ago I came up with this Homemade Sriracha Sauce to deal with a surplus of peppers in the garden. Steven, my Step Son, loves it so now I make sure to plant enough peppers to make a few batches. He tends to drink the stuff so by the holidays it’s gone. I have to hide a few bottles in the downstairs refrigerator so I have an adequate supply.
It has become more complicated now since he has turned on all of the guys in the family to this sauce and everyone demands their fair share. They claim I don’t love them enough if someone gets more…can you believe they stoop to that?
When I started this adventure into sriracha it occurred to me that I could make the sauce any color I want. I grow jalapeño’s, poblano’s, serrano’s and then some. Now I make bottles of Red, Green and Orange sauce for the guys and they love it. Who says sriracha has to be red?
I still save some peppers to make a few jars of Pickled Peppers. These are a must on Pizza!
Homemade Sriracha
Ingredients
- ½ Pound Red Chillies I used Serrano’s but any red pepper will work
- 2-3 Cloves Garlic peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoons of Honey or Unrefined Sugar I use Sugar in the Raw
- 1 Tablespoon Sea Salt
- 2-3 Tablespoons of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar or Water
- ½ Cup Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
-
Remove the tops and any blemishes from the chilis and roughly chop them up, seeds and all. Place into a food processor or blender, along with the garlic, sugar, salt and water and blend to a fine paste forms adding more vinegar or water as needed.
-
Transfer mixture to a clean glass jar, screw the lid on loosely and leave in a warm dark place with no direct sunlight. After three to five days you should see some fermentation with little bubbles or pockets of air in the mix. (don’t let the mixture sit any longer than five days).

<span></span><span></span>To make the siracha, place the pepper mixture to a blender or food processor along with the apple cider vinegar and blend to a smooth paste. Place a fine sieve over a large mixing cup or bowl and srain out the liquid from the solid – to extract as much of the liquid as you can us the back of a spoon. Discard the solids and pour the sriracha sauce into a clean glass container. Refrigerate the sauce.

Use within six months.
Recipe Notes
*Variation: if you prefer a cooked sauce strain the liquid directly into a saucepan in step 3 and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook the sauce until it is of the desired

Now you’re talking! We always have this in the house, but have never made it ourselves!
I’m obsessed with sriracha so the idea of making my own is so intriguing. I love that you made different colors. I bet they each have a different flavor too.
I use Sriracha sauce in recipes all the time. We love the extra kick and flavor. I’ve never thought to make my own. I’m going to have to give this a try.

Monica, I have always wanted to make Sriracha sauce. This recipe is so easy I am not sure why I have never done. it. It will be a great way to get rid of my hot peppers in my garden – they seem to have taken over!
What a terrific idea! This is something I’ve never thought of making, but I bet your homemade version is fabulous!!
Sounds (and looks) really yummi! Saving this!
These bottles look so beautiful! I am thinking since they last for up to six months (in the fridge) I could make some up and give them as holiday gifts. A bottle of red and green would be perfect .
I *wanted* to make this this year, but then the voles ate all my hot peppers! Yours looks divine
great idea to make your own so you can control the heat too!
My husband loves sriracha, and I’m sure he’d love this homemade version too!
