Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Wash the jalapeno peppers thoroughly and slice off the stems. Cut them into halves, leaving the seeds intact for a medium heat level.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop the white onion.
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and jalapenos to the saucepan. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
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.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
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.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or lime juice to balance the flavors.
Pour the sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars using a funnel. Let it cool completely before sealing the containers.
Store the jalapeno hot sauce in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Shake well before each use. Enjoy!
