Canned Jalapeno Hot Sauce Recipe
Hi there! My name is Ava and I’m thrilled to share with you my recipe for canned jalapeno hot sauce. As a cooking enthusiast, I’ve tried many different hot sauce recipes, but this one has become my favorite. It’s perfectly spicy and tangy, and it goes well with so many different foods.
What You Need
- 1 pound fresh jalapeno peppers
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
It’s important to use fresh jalapeno peppers for this recipe, as they will give you the best flavor. You’ll also need a canning pot, jars, and lids.
How to Make It
- Wash and stem the jalapeno peppers, then chop them into small pieces.
- In a saucepan, combine the chopped jalapenos, vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and paprika to the saucepan. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the hot sauce to sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the rims of the jars, then place the lids on top and screw on the bands.
- Place the jars in a canning pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the canning pot and let them cool on a towel. Once they’re cool, check the seals and store in a cool, dark place.
I did this recipe last week and it led to a delicious hot sauce that I’ve been using on everything from tacos to eggs. I prefer to use small jars, so I always have a fresh one open, but you can use larger jars if you prefer. Just be sure to adjust the processing time accordingly.
