Jalapeno Hot Sauce Recipe
Description
The Jalapeno Hot Sauce Recipe uses fresh chopped jalapeno peppers blended with onion and garlic for a punch of heat and savory depth. White vinegar and lime juice provide a vibrant acidity that brightens the sauce. After blending until smooth, the mixture is simmered gently to marry the flavors while preserving the sauce’s color. It can be strained for a smoother texture if preferred. The balance of heat, tang, and fresh ingredients makes this sauce a versatile condiment for grilled meats, tacos, or as a zesty dipping sauce.
The method involves blending all ingredients until smooth, then simmering gently for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to combine. Cooling and letting the sauce rest enhances its taste. Adjustments to salt or lime juice can be made after cooking to taste.
The recipe yields about 1.5 cups of sauce unstrained, which can be bottled and stored for regular use.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces jalapeno pepper chopped (about 4-5 large jalapenos or 8 average sized
- 1 ounce white onion chopped
- 1 ounce garlic chopped
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a small saucepan. Heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld. Cool slightly. (NOTE: The color will darken if you use too high of heat.)
- Taste and adjust for salt and lime juice. Strain if desired.
- Pour into bottles and enjoy. The flavors are better after they’ve combined for a day.
