Jalapeno Hot Sauce: 1 Fresh Recipe That Tastes Amazing

Description

This Jalapeño Hot Sauce is a fiery, tangy condiment that’s perfect for spicing up tacos, eggs, grilled meats, and more. Made with fresh jalapeños, garlic, and vinegar, it’s bold, vibrant, and incredibly easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb. jalapeno peppers (approx. 10 jalapenos)
1/2 onion
2 garlic cloves
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
8–10 cilantro sprigs
freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Give the jalapenos a good rinse and de-stem them. Be sure to wash your hands after handling them. More info on handling hot chiles.
Saute a roughly chopped 1/2 onion and 2 whole, peeled garlic cloves in a glug of oil over medium heat.
Once the onion is browning you can add 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, some freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional). Briefly cook until fragrant and then add: the de-stemmed jalapenos, 3/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and then add everything to a blender.
Add 8-10 sprigs cilantro and the juice of 1 lime to the blender. Combine well or to your desired consistency. I usually leave it a bit chunky but you can always blend it thinner.
Add mixture to three 5 oz. bottles or a small Mason jar. Store in the fridge where it will keep for at least a month.

Notes

Use green jalapeños for a classic look or red for a sweeter, ripened flavor.
Add lime juice or cilantro for a zesty twist.
Store in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Blend until completely smooth for the best texture.
