Ingredients

- 1 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoon honey optional
- 2 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup water
Instructions
Prep
- Wash the jalapeños and remove the stems.
- Slice them open and remove the seeds and ribs. Keep these if you want to adjust the heat later.
Cook
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped onion.
- Sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in water and jalapeño slices.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes until jalapeños are soft.
- Remove from heat and let it cool.
Blend
- Transfer cooked ingredients to a blender.
- Add salt, white vinegar, and honey.
- Blend until smooth.
Store
- Transfer to a clean glass bottle and seal tightly with a lid.
Notes
- Tips: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Adjust the consistency with water if the sauce is too thick.
- To Store: Transfer the jalapeno hot sauce in an air-sealed container and place it in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.
- To Freezer: Store them in a single container or portion them for a single serving. I usually pour them into ice cube trays and freeze them. Later, I transfer them to zip-lock bags.
- To Thaw: When ready to use the frozen hot sauce, remove the number of sauce cubes you need from the freezer bag. You can place them in the fridge overnight or use the microwave's defrost setting. Once they melt, stir the sauce to make it smooth before you use it.
- To Reheat: Warm it up on low heat over the stovetop and give it a few stirs. Keep it cool, and it might change how it tastes and feels. Once it's warm, it's ready to make your favorite foods even better.
