Steps
1
Place jalapeños, garlic, sugar, and salt in bowl of a food processor fitting with steel blade. Pulse until chiles are very finely chopped, stopping to scrape sides of bowl as necessary. Transfer mixture to a clean jar, seal, and let sit at room temperature in a cool, dark place.
2
Check jar each day for fermentation, when little bubbles start forming at bottom of jar, about 3-5 days. Open jars, stir, and reseal jars daily to let ferment until chiles are no longer rising in volume, an additional 2-3 days.
3
Transfer chiles to jar of a blender, add in white vinegar, and purée until completely smooth, 1-3 minutes. Transfer to a mesh strainer set atop a medium saucepan. Strain mixture into saucepan, using a rubber spatula to push through as much pulp as possible, only seeded and larger pieces of chiles should remain in strainer.
4
Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce thickens and clings to a spoon, 5 or 10 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to 6 months.
