Ingredients
- 10-12 fresh hot chili peppers (such as jalapeños, serranos, or habaneros)
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the chili peppers and slice them in half. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the peppers, vinegar, water, garlic, salt, and sugar (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Carefully blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
- Taste and add lime juice (optional) for an extra zing. Adjust salt and sugar if needed.
- Transfer the hot sauce to a bottle or jar and refrigerate. Let it sit for a few hours before using to allow the flavors to develop. Enjoy your Homemade Hot Sauce!
