Step 1

Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, and add in the oil and jalapeños. Sauté for 5 minutes. Then add in the garlic and turn the heat down to low. Sauté for 5 more minutes.

Step 2

Turn the heat back to high and add in the salt and water, then stir and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan, turn the heat back to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Next, remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the pepper mixture to a blender, then add in the cilantro and vinegar and blend until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the hot sauce into the jar of your choice and refrigerate. Store in an airtight jar.

Step 5

Shake before using as the sauce may settle and separate. Hot sauce will stay good for up to 1 month.
