Ingredients:

1. 2 jalapenos

2. 3 cayenne peppers

3. 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

4. 250mL pure maple syrup

5. Optional: 1-2 birds eye chilli if you want it more spicy!

Method:

1. Thinly slice your chillis and garlic and place into a clean jar.

2. Pour in the maple syrup, ensuring that it covers all of the ingredients.

3. Give it a stir, pop the lid on and transfer it into the fridge. It’ll taste best and stronger as you let it sit.

4. When ready to use, enjoy with your favourite meals or add into sauces for a sweet and spicy kick.

*NOTE: Correct me if I’m wrong but the reason why I transfer this directly into the fridge instead of leaving it at room temperature is because the maple syrup will not ferment the ingredients so there’s no point. Feel free to experiment and see how you go! Also YES you can absolutely eat the chillis/peppers, they taste even better with time!
