Directions

  1. Remove the hot peppers, rinse them, and drain them. Peel the garlic. Place them in a stainless steel saucepan, cover with white vinegar (enough to be more than a finger’s width), and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the peppers are softened. Add more vinegar if the liquid level drops, so that it remains at the level of the peppers and garlic.
  2. Combine the chili peppers and garlic with the salt and sugar until you have a smooth mixture. The seeds will not completely break down.
  3. If the mixture is too thick, add a little vinegar. Return it to the saucepan and heat until it boils.
  4. Immediately pour into a sterilized jar and seal it immediately. The remaining heat will sterilize the air inside the jar. ≈ 3 min
  5. Once opened, store the sauce in the refrigerator.
