Roasted Red Jalapeño Hot Sauce ### Ingredients:

10-12 ripe red jalapeño peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance heat)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the jalapeño peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the stems and seeds for a milder sauce.
Spread the jalapeños and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapeños are soft and slightly charred, turning once for even roasting.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted jalapeños, garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar, black pepper, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. For a thinner sauce, you can add a little more vinegar or water if desired.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. You may want to add more salt or sugar depending on your preference.
Pour the sauce into clean, sterilized bottles or jars and store in the refrigerator. This hot sauce will keep for several weeks, but it’s so good—you may find it gone in no time!
