Homemade Hot Sauce

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh chili peppers (jalapeños, habaneros, or your choice)

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a tangy twist)

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

   

  Instructions:

• Prepare the Peppers – Remove stems and chop the peppers. You can remove the seeds for a milder sauce.

• Sauté – In a pan over medium heat, cook the peppers and garlic with a splash of oil until softened (about 5 minutes).

• Blend – Transfer to a blender with vinegar, salt, and sugar. Blend until smooth.

• Strain (Optional) – If you prefer a thinner sauce, strain out the pulp using a fine-mesh sieve.

• Store – Pour into a clean glass bottle or jar and refrigerate. It tastes better after sitting for a day!
