Pepper farmer here. I have tried a lot.

This is the way:
Cut peppers in half. Put them in a jar like pic related, 1l or 2l, until 4cm from full. Add water that has 20g/l salt until the glass is 2cm from full. Push the peppers under the water with a colesaw leaf. The leaf needs to be under water too. Use gloves for all of this because of heat and hygiene.

Store min 1 month and max 18 months at a dark place at 15°c-20°c

Then there are 2 ways to go on:

1) get the peppers out, not the water, and blend them with a hand blender. Add water until you have the consistency you like. Throw in fresh garlic pepper and salt if you like. Enjoy.

2) get out the peppers, throw away the water and add vinegar and salt how much you like. Wait another month or better even 12 months. Press trough a sieve that has 300 microns. You have tabasco now.
