Sweet Jalapeño Hot Sauce

This sauce is perfect for those who enjoy a sweet yet spicy flavor. The combination of fresh jalapeños and a hint of sweetness creates a balanced sauce that can enhance any meal.

Ingredients

10 fresh jalapeños, stems removed
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Start by washing the jalapeños thoroughly under cold running water. Make sure to remove the stems, as you’ll want only the peppers for this recipe.
In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, and water. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the jalapeños and minced garlic to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the flavors of the jalapeños infuse into the liquid.
After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
Purge the mixture until smooth. If you want a thinner consistency, feel free to add a little bit more water or vinegar until you reach your desired thickness.
Once blended, add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well.
Pour the hot sauce into a clean bottle or jar, and let it cool completely before sealing. Store your Sweet Jalapeño Hot Sauce in the refrigerator. It should last for several weeks.

This Sweet Jalapeño Hot Sauce can be used in countless ways: as a marinade, dipping sauce, or simply drizzled over your favorite dishes. Enjoy the blend of flavors, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different foods!
