Chile De Arbol In Vinegar
Preparing vinegar based hot sauce is easier than you think! I enjoy preparing these types of salsa/hot sauce to keep in my refrigerator for extended periods of time. You can do this with any fresh chile peppers as well.
Servings 2 cups
Ingredients
- 50 chile de arbol, 23-26 grams weight stems removed
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 6 cloves garlic or to taste
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- . In a medium sauce pan, add all of the ingredients for the chile de arbol hot sauce. The salt is to to taste, but I usually start with 1 teaspoon. As it cooks, I taste it and adjust the seasoning. Bring it to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for a good 10 to 15 minutes or until the peppers get soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer the chile de arbol mixture, along with all of the liquid to the blender. Blend on high for 35 to 40 seconds or until mostly smooth. Transfer back to sauce pan and cook at a steady simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar or bottle with a tight lid or cap. It will keep in refrigerator for weeks.
