Ingredients
Scale
For the Hot Sauce:
- 10 fresh red chili peppers (like Fresno or jalapeño), stems removed and roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Hot Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped chili peppers, minced garlic, vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are soft, about 8-10 minutes.
- Blend the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. For a smoother consistency, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
- Store and Enjoy: Pour the hot sauce into a clean glass jar or bottle. Refrigerate for up to 1 month. Shake well before each use and drizzle over tacos, eggs, or any dish for a spicy flavor boost!
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness by using hotter peppers like serrano or habanero.
- For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the hot sauce.
