Ingredients
- 1/2 pound jalapeno peppers (about 6 large)
- 1 small onion
- 6 garlic cloves
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Remove the tops from the peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Clean out the seeds and ribs, give them a rough chop, and put them into a small saucepan. Roughly chop the onion and garlic and add it to the pan. Pour in the vinegar and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. In the meantime, roughly chop the cilantro and put it into a blender along with the salt and lime juice. When the jalapeno mixture is cooked, add it to the blender. *Cover the blender, put a towel over the lid, and turn it on low. Once it is going, crank it up to the highest setting and puree for 3 minutes. Strain through a medium holed strainer and let cool. Pour into sterilized bottles and refrigerate. The hot sauce will keep for up to a month under refrigeration.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Reviews
This is easily the worst home made hot sauce I’ve ever tasted. If I could have given it negative stars I would have.
This recipe is great! I varied the peppers that were used on a second batch of sauce – using habaneros and a couple of scotch bonnets to make a super hot sauce. But, the original is good for an all purpose hot sauce with a great flavor.
This sauce was very easy to make. You can taste everything in it, the cilantro, lime and jalapeno. They combine to make a very flavorful sauce with a little kick to it.
Highly recommended.
