Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed and sliced
  • 0.5 cup white onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, smashed
  • 1 cup white distilled vinegar (5% acidity)
  • 0.5 cup filtered water
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions:

  1. Place the white distilled vinegar, 0.5 cup filtered water, 0.5 cup white onion, 4 cloves fresh garlic, 1 tsp fine sea salt, and 0.5 tsp granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved.
  2. Add the sliced 1 lb fresh jalapeno peppers to the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the peppers are tender and the onions are translucent.
  3. Carefully pour the mixture into a blender. Add the 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Secure the lid tightly (place a towel over the top for safety) and blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is completely smooth and silky.
  4. Taste the sauce carefully with a clean spoon. If it is too thick, add a splash more filtered water. Pour the hot liquid into sterilized glass bottles or jars. Let it cool to room temperature before sealing.
