Easy Jalapeño Hot Sauce

This vibrant sauce is perfect for those who love a little heat in their meals. It’s incredibly easy to make and requires only a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to spice up any gathering! Let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

10 fresh jalapeños, stemmed and sliced
1 cup white vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for balancing heat)

Instructions

Begin by preparing the jalapeños. Wearing gloves, slice the jalapeños in half and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced jalapeños, white vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and sugar (if using). Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will help the flavors meld beautifully.
After simmering, allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, carefully transfer it to a blender or food processor.
Blend until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother sauce, blend longer. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more vinegar to thin it out.
Pour the blended hot sauce into a clean bottle or jar. Let it cool completely before sealing it tightly.
Store your homemade jalapeño hot sauce in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about 2 to 3 months, but I bet it won’t last that long!

Enjoy your homemade Easy Jalapeño Hot Sauce on tacos, eggs, sandwiches, or even as a dipping sauce for all your favorite snacks. This zesty creation is sure to become a staple in your kitchen, bringing vibrant heat and flavor to every dish!
