Notes
- Simmer long enough: Allowing the flavors to develop and come together will result in a more complex flavor profile. It’s worth the effort!
- Allow it to cool before storage: Not only will this prevent moisture and bacteria growth, but it will also help the bottles seal properly.
- Be sure the veggies are soft: Cooking the peppers and onions until they are soft and tender will ensure that they blend well for a smooth sauce.
- Storing: Store this jalapeno hot sauce in airtight glass bottles or jars for up to 1 month in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it. Store in airtight and freezer-safe containers for up to 4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator when you need it!
