3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Give the jalapenos a good rinse and de-stem them. Be sure to wash your hands after handling them. More info on handling hot chiles.
  • Saute a roughly chopped 1/2 onion and 2 whole, peeled garlic cloves in a glug of oil over medium heat.
  • Once the onion is browning you can add 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, some freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional). Briefly cook until fragrant and then add: the de-stemmed jalapenos, 3/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and then add everything to a blender.
  • Add 8-10 sprigs cilantro and the juice of 1 lime to the blender. Combine well or to your desired consistency. I usually leave it a bit chunky but you can always blend it thinner.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For a medium-hot sauce, use a combination of jalapeños and cayenne peppers. If you want a hotter sauce, add habaneros or serranos. Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers before chopping them to reduce the heat level.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers before blending them will give the sauce a smoky flavor. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can, use organic peppers and other vegetables.
  • Simmer the sauce: Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. You can simmer the sauce on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: Taste the sauce as it simmers and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more vinegar, sugar, or salt.
  • Store the sauce properly: Store the sauce in a sterilized jar or bottle in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks.
