Ingredients

• 10 pieces jalapeno peppers
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.5 pieces white onion
• 0.5 cups white vinegar
• 0.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the jalapeno peppers thoroughly and slice off the stems. Cut them into halves, leaving the seeds intact for a medium heat level.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop the white onion.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and jalapenos to the saucepan. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the white vinegar and water, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked mixture to a blender or food processor. Add lime juice and salt. Blend on high speed until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add additional water one tablespoon at a time as needed while blending.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or lime juice to balance the flavors.

Step 9

Pour the sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars using a funnel. Let it cool completely before sealing the containers.

Step 10

Store the jalapeno hot sauce in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Shake well before each use. Enjoy!
