Roasted Red Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds red jalapeno peppers – about 25 peppers or so.
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stems. Set them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes, or until the skins blister.
2. Remove from heat and cover with aluminum foil or a towel to allow them to steam. Peel off the skins and discard.
3. Set the peppers into a food processor.
4. Heat a small pan to medium heat and add chopped onion and garlic with a splash of olive oil. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
5. Add all remaining ingredients and heat through. Into the food processor they go.
6. Process the sauce until smooth. You can also use a food mill if you’d like your sauce to be thick and consistent.
7. Test for salt and serve!
