Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
