Easy Jalapeño Hot Sauce
This hot sauce is a fantastic way to brighten up your meals. The fresh jalapeños bring in the heat while the balance of other ingredients adds depth of flavor. Plus, it’s simple enough for anyone to whip up!
### Ingredients:
- 10 fresh jalapeños, stems removed
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional, for extra zing)
Instructions:
- Start by washing the jalapeños well. Depending on your spice tolerance, you can either leave the seeds in for a hotter sauce or remove them for a milder flavor.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the jalapeños, white vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a blender or food processor.
- Puree the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a little more vinegar or water until you reach your desired consistency.
- For an extra citrusy kick, add the lime juice and blend again.
- Pour the finished hot sauce into a clean bottle or jar and store it in the fridge. It will keep for a few weeks, but trust me, it won’t last that long!
Enjoy this vibrant, homemade jalapeño hot sauce on everything from grilled meats to roasted vegetables. It’s bound to become a staple in your pantry, adding a dash of excitement to your meals!
