Get ready for goodness! Hot sauce lovers are often loyal to particular brands, but let us inspire you to take on a homemade hot sauce. True aficionados will compartmentalize their hot sauces based on desired categories and combinations, but this one made fresh, may find its way into your hot sauce rotation.
We all likely have a variety of international hot sauces that we use on everything and anything. And we all have our favorite brands, from Tabasco to Sriracha, Franks, sambal, and the list goes on. You’ll want to reserve a place for our homemade hot sauce. It’s almost silly how simple it is to make and how fresh it tastes!
Here’s the deal, this only takes five ingredients. That’s it! Jalapeños, garlic, vinegar, water, and salt. We suggest that you remove the seeds from the jalapeños to bring down the heat but if you like to crank up the spice, keep the seeds. All of this is blended and strained into a smooth sauce.
Look at the color! Such a brilliant and rich red that very obviously hints at what this will taste like. Our homemade hot sauce is as appealing to the eyes as it is fragrant and flavorful! One taste of this homemade hot sauce will have you hooked. If you are a hot sauce lover or have hot sauce lovers in your life, make this homemade sauce to show your love of heat. Enjoy this with our Andouille Sausage & Chicken Jambalaya.
