fermenting Fermented Salsa Sauce

[Codester]

So I've got a great salsa recipe that I have been wanting to experiment with fermenting, and I have some super hot peppers expected to arrive tomorrow.
I was curious how a few of the ingredients would do fermenting. I will make this final ferment into a sauce after 30-90 days.
 
This would be my list of ingredients:
Stewed Tomatoes
lime
honey
red onion
bell pepper
cilantro
jalapeno
4-6 super hots
garlic
cumin
oregano
corn
salt
 
The questionable items to me are the stewed tomatoes, corn, honey, lime and cilantro. I am tempted to run the ferment, minus those ingredients, and then to possibly add them when I go to cook the final sauce.
 
Any words of wisdom is much appreciated! This will be my 4th ferment attempt

I will also be making a non-fermented salsa sauce to be able to compare the differences

Honey may not be the best choice for lacto fermentation but it should work. It has antibacterial properties. I would save the lime for last. Add it at bottling time when the sauce it still hot but not boiling. Im not really sure how corn will react in a lacto fermentation. I guess it would work. I dont see why not.

I googled lacto fermented corn....lots of recipes and info

Ok, I'm about to make a batch. I decided I'll ferment all ingredients except for the lime and honey.
 
My biggest consideration right now is weather I should use Fresh Tomatoes or Canned Stewed Tomatoes like in my salsa recipe. I'm concerned that the Canned Stewed Tomatoes might not ferment like the fresh ones would. And I don't want the sauce to end up with too much liquid from using the fresh tomatoes. What is all of your experience fermenting tomatoes? good idea? bad idea?

Never fermented tomatoes but plenty of sauces and salsas.

You can pre chop add a little salt and let them drain in a colander a couple hrs, or deseed and depulp using outer firmer flesh, or cut in half and roast em.

I don't see any reason though not to use them chopped whole...assuming you will use a food mill at the end to deseed final product.
