Easy Jalapeño Hot Sauce

Ingredients

  • 10 fresh jalapeños, stems removed (you can remove seeds for less heat)
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional for a hint of sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Start by throwing those jalapeños and garlic cloves in a pot. Pour in the vinegar and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes until the jalapeños are soft and tender.
  2. Once they’re soft, take the pot off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. After cooling, transfer the mixture into a blender. Add the salt and sugar if you’re using it. Blend until smooth. If you like your sauce thinner, you can add a bit more vinegar to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Pour the blended concoction into a clean glass jar or bottle. It’s best to strain it if you want a smoother sauce.
  5. Let your homemade hot sauce sit for at least 24 hours in the fridge before using it to allow the flavors to develop. Trust us, it’s worth the wait!
