- Yield: 1 cup 1x
Ingredients
18–20 red jalapeño peppers, stems removed (more peppers = more heat!)
8 cloves garlic
1/4 – 1/2 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup white vinegar
Instructions
Add all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Start with 18 red jalapeños and 1/4 cup maple syrup, then add more based on your personal preferences for the amount of spice and sweet.
Pour blender contents through a strainer and into a saucepan.
Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture starts to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Pour into sauce bottles and store in the fridge for up to six months. Enjoy the heat!
Notes
Fermenting option: blend the ingredients (except the vinegar), then pour the contents into a clean jar, cover, and store in a dark, cool place for 3-5 days. Stir once daily. The longer the mixture ferments, the more intense the flavors will become. After 3-5 days, pour sauce back into the blender with the vinegar and reblend, then following the remaining instructions.
