Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make your very own jalapeño hot sauce:

10 fresh jalapeños, stems removed
1 cup white vinegar
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to whip up your hot sauce:

Begin by cleaning the jalapeños. Cut them in half and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
In a saucepan, combine the jalapeños, white vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and sugar if you’re using it. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will soften the jalapeños and meld the flavors together.
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the lime juice and blend until smooth.
For a thinner consistency, you can add a bit more vinegar or water. Blend again to reach your desired texture.
Pour the hot sauce into a clean bottle or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two months.

This Basic Jalapeño Hot Sauce is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Perfect for tacos, grilled meats, or even as a spicy kick to your favorite soups! Enjoy adding a touch of heat to your dishes, and don’t forget to share your creations with friends and family!
