Equipment
- Blender
- skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil vegetable oil or avocado oil
- 1 pound jalapenos, left whole with stems cut off approx. 9-11
- 1 small yellow onion thickly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup white vinegar (bottle should say 5% acidity)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté jalapenos in a skillet with oil on medium-high heat for 8 minutes or so, stirring often so all sides of the jalapeno end up touching the pan. When the jalapenos have some nice color, reduce heat to medium and add the onion and garlic and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, making sure the garlic doesn't burn.
- Add the jalapenos, onion, and garlic from the skillet to a blender. Add the salt and pepper, then pour in the vinegar and water. Blend until there are no more chunks and the hot sauce is smooth. *This is a thicker hot sauce. It will not be thin and runny.*
- Using a funnel, pour the hot sauce into your desired container (clean glass bottle, plastic squeeze bottle, air-tight container with lid, etc.) Enjoy! Keep in refrigerator and use within 1-2 weeks.
