Ingredients

• 10 pieces Jalapenos
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 cup White vinegar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the jalapenos. Remove the stems and roughly chop the peppers. If you prefer a less spicy sauce, remove some or all of the seeds.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the jalapenos and garlic, sautéing them until they are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the white vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the lime juice and blend until smooth. Be cautious while blending hot liquids—consider letting it cool further or vent the lid slightly to avoid steam buildup.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to your preference.

Step 9

Strain the blended sauce through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle, discarding any solids left in the strainer.

Step 10

Let the hot sauce cool completely, then store it in the fridge in an airtight container. It will keep for up to 1 month.
