Roasted Red Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce ### Ingredients

10 red jalapeno peppers
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)

Instructions

Roasting the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stems and seeds (if you prefer a milder sauce, you can keep some seeds). Arrange them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until they’re nicely charred.
Sautéing the Vegetables: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Blending: Once the jalapenos have roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer the roasted peppers, sautéed onions, and garlic to a blender. Add the vinegar, salt, sugar (if using), and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more vinegar if needed.
Storing: Pour your vibrant hot sauce into a sterilized bottle or jar. Allow it to cool at room temperature before sealing it. Store in the refrigerator, where it will develop even more flavor over time. It should last for a few weeks, but we doubt it will stick around that long!
