3-Ingredient Homemade Hot Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound hot chilis, stemmed
  • 10 to 12 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Salt to taste
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup distilled vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon red chili flakes, optional

Steps

  1. 1

    Place the chilis, garlic, salt and water in a saucepan and set over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, until the chilis are softened, 15 to 25 minutes depending on their size.

    Remove from the heat and add the vinegar. Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree until smooth.

  3. 3

    Stir in the chili flakes, pour into a jar of your choice and refrigerate.
