Description
A flavorful and zesty Dill Pickle Hot Sauce that combines the tang of dill pickles with the heat of jalapeños, perfect for adding a spicy kick to your dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
- 1/4 cup pickle juice (from the jar)
- 2–3 jalapeño peppers, chopped (adjust for desired heat)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped pickles, pickle juice, jalapeños, garlic, vinegar, dill, sugar, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency with additional pickle juice or water if needed.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. Add more jalapeño for heat, sugar for sweetness, or salt for balance. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the ingredients instead of fully blending.
- Transfer the hot sauce to a clean glass jar or bottle. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Adjust the jalapeño quantity based on your heat preference.
