Ingredients 

  • 8 oz red jalapeño peppers, stemmed and chopped
  • 2 heads garlic, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped red jalapeño peppers, garlic, salt, sugar, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Blend until slightly chunky.
  • Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld.
