• 1 tbsp. oil
• 2 cups sliced jalapeno peppers
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup white vinegar (can use other apple cider, some lime juice, etc.)

Heat oil in a saucepan; add jalapenos, garlic and onion. Saute for 5-10 minutes until onion is transparent but not yet turning brown.

Add the water. When mixture comes to a boil, turn temperature down a bit and put lid on pan. Let boil gently for 15 minutes.

Remove pan from heat, take lid off, allow everything to cool until room temperature.

Place mixture in a blender and add the salt. Blend at medium speed for 1 minute. While blender is still working, slowly pour in the vinegar.

Strain hot sauce (or not) and pour into a bottle.

Can add 1/4 tsp. dried herbs (cumin, oregano) with the salt.
