Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Base
- 1 cup Dill pickles, chopped
- 1/2 cup Pickle juice
Spices and Heat
- 2-3 pieces Jalapeños, seeded (Adjust for desired heat)
- 1 piece Habanero pepper (Optional for extra heat)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
- Chop Ingredients: Begin by chopping the dill pickles into small pieces to ensure smooth blending. Mince the garlic cloves finely and prepare the jalapeños by removing the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, seeded jalapeños, minced garlic, and the optional habanero pepper into a blender. Blend the mixture until you reach your desired consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky.
- Adjust Flavors: Taste the hot sauce and modify as needed by adding more jalapeños for increased heat or additional pickle juice to thin the sauce to your preferred texture.
- Store: Pour the blended hot sauce into a clean jar or bottle. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and deepen before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the amount of jalapeños and optionally adding habanero.
- Store the hot sauce refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks for best freshness.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with sandwiches, tacos, grilled meats, or as a tangy dipping sauce.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend longer or strain to remove solids.
