Congrats on the hot sauce results! I made my own last summer too (first time making a sauce, I previously made Chilli Jams from my home grown peppers) and last summer I had a very productive Wraith chilli plant which produce pods far too hot to do much else with so I found a recipe I wanted to try.

I didn't lacto-ferment them but I did make one similar to your mango one (I used a fresh pineapple and fresh mango plus some honey and IIRC cumin) and like yourself, found it one of the most amazing sauces I've ever had.

It was sweet and tangy, super flavourful and HOT AS HELL! I put it on everything and because of the "chilli high" I was getting from it decided to nickname it Pineapple Express.

I was hoping to make another batch this season but the plant, despite over-wintering well, has barely grown and is only just now producing flowers which I'm pretty sure will produce very small pods if they are even successful...
