Flaming Blast of Lime Hot Sauce
Recipe courtesy George Duran

Ingredients
1/2 pound jalapeno peppers (about 6 large)
1 small onion
6 garlic cloves
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1 lime, juiced

Instructions
Remove the tops from the peppers and cut them in half
lengthwise. Clean out the seeds and ribs, give them a rough chop, and put them

into a small saucepan. Roughly chop the onion and garlic and add it to the pan.
Pour in the vinegar and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10
minutes. In the meantime, roughly chop the cilantro and put it into a blender
along with the salt and lime juice. When the jalapeno mixture is cooked, add it to
the blender. *Cover the blender, put a towel over the lid, and turn it on low.
Once it is going, crank it up to the highest setting and puree for 3 minutes.
Strain through a medium holed strainer and let cool. Pour into sterilized bottles
and refrigerate. The hot sauce will keep for up to a month under refrigeration.

*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at
least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no
more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This
prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the
top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until

smooth.
