Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce Recipe
Here is an easy recipe for homemade hot sauce that is delightful on Southern Greens, black eyed peas and fried fish. It is spicy but not red hot. Give it a try.
Ingredients
* 4-6 jalapeno peppers (how hot do you want it?) fresh is better, but you can use bottled* 6 garlic cloves
* 1 small onion
* 2 cups apple cider vinegar
* 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
* 2 teaspoons salt
* juice of 2 limes
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Remove the seeds and ribs (membrane inside) from the peppers and cut into medium chunks.2. Roughly chop the onion and garlic and put all the chopped ingredients into a small saucepan. Pour in the vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
3. Roughly chop the cilantro and put into a blender or food processor with the salt, pepper and lime juice. When the jalapeno mixture is cooked, allow to cool 10 minutes, then add to the blender.
4. Turn the blender on low for 10 seconds, then increase to highest setting and puree for 2-3 minutes or until a smooth sauce is obtained.
5. If you want a pure liquid sauce, strain through a medium hole strainer. If you like the pulp in the sauce, do not strain.
Pour into a sterilized jar and refrigerate.
Makes about 1 pint.
