Ingredients

  • 10 ounces mixed red chili peppers ~285 g (I'm using a blend of cayenne, red jalapeno, red serrano, and cherry peppers from my garden - use your favorites with heat levels you prefer)
  • 3 ounces garlic chopped (~85 g) (use 4 ounces/113 g for more pronounced garlic flavor)
  • ¾ cup apple cider vinegar ~180 ml (or use red wine vinegar)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste, ~ 1.5 g

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a small pot or saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes to soften.
  • Cool slightly then transfer to a food processor or blender. Blend until very smooth.
  • Taste and adjust for salt. Add water or more vinegar 1-2 tablespoons at a time to thin to your desired consistency, if needed.

Notes

Makes about 2 cups (~480 ml).
