Easy Homemade Jalapeño Hot Sauce
Description
Easy Homemade Jalapeño Hot Sauce uses fresh jalapeños with garlic, salt, white vinegar, and water blended into a smooth sauce. Removing seeds reduces heat for milder results. Blending thoroughly ensures a uniform texture which can be strained for additional smoothness if desired.
The sauce’s flavor and heat can be varied by fermenting it briefly at room temperature for deeper tang and complexity or by briefly cooking it to mellow sharpness and brighten color. Both methods suit different taste preferences and culinary uses. Kept refrigerated, the sauce stays fresh up to three months.
This hot sauce works well to add vibrant spice to dishes without overpowering them. Handling peppers with gloves is advised to avoid irritation from capsaicin. Flavor balance relies on salt, vinegar’s acidity, and fresh pepper heat combined through blending.
Ingredients
- 1 pound jalapeno pepper or other hot peppers
- 2 garlic peeled, large cloves
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2-4 tablespoons white vinegar to taste
- ¼ cup water
Notes
- Use gloves when handling hot peppers to avoid skin irritation from capsaicin.
- If peppers are very spicy, removing seeds and ribs reduces heat.
- Blend thoroughly for a smooth texture; strain through a fine mesh if preferred thinner.
