I searched for a thread on this, I'm sorry if I didn't find it.
I am about 2 weeks in on a habanero pepper mash.
I chopped up the peppers and put the puree in a quart mason jar with about a cup of kosher salt. I screwed on a plastic cap loosely and put it in the pantry.
Every few days I check up on it by unscrewing the cap and smelling--- it smells unbelievable.
Does any body know if there is any danger here?
I do not have means to directly test the PH. Also, how long should I let it go?
My plan is to can it when I think it's ready, put it through a long boil...
