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.
- Add mixture to three 5 oz. bottles or a small Mason jar. Store in the fridge where it will keep for at least a month.

HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE WITH JALAPENOS
I was taught how to make this by a neighbor a few years ago. It is so much better fresh than out of a jar. It is even better when served with fresh corn tortillas which have been quartered and fried in hot grease til crispy.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Use fresh, ripe peppers for the best flavor. Look for peppers that are firm and brightly colored.
- Wear gloves: When handling peppers, wear gloves to protect your skin from the capsaicin, which can cause irritation.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. However, if you want a hotter sauce, you can leave some of the seeds in.
- Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers will add a smoky flavor to the sauce. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a blender or food processor: To make the sauce, you can use a blender or food processor. If you use a blender, be sure to blend the sauce until it is smooth.
- Add vinegar and spices: To the blended peppers, add vinegar, salt, and other spices. The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of the sauce. For a milder sauce, use white vinegar. For a more flavorful sauce, use apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
- Simmer the sauce: Simmer the sauce over low heat for about 15 minutes. This will help to mellow the flavors and thicken the sauce.
- Store the sauce: The sauce can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
