Ingredients

  • 20 garlic cloves
  • 6 red jalapenos
  • 6 TBS rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (heaping unless sugar is an issue)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (scant teaspoon or ¾ of a tsp) taste and adjust
  • 2 TBS water, divided
  • 1 TBS cornstarch

Instructions

  • Add garlic, peppers, vinegar, sugar, salt and 1 TBS of water to your food processer. Pulse until fully blended.
  • In a small pot combine 1 TBS of the mixture, 1 TBS water and 1 TBS or cornstarch, and stir until incorporated.
  • Turn heat to medium and scrape the remaining mixture into your pot. Bring to a simmer for a minute or so.
  • Remove from heat and cool. If too thick, add in another ½ TBS or so of water and stir.
  • Taste and adjust for saltiness.
  • Once completely cooled. Store in a mason jar with lid for up to a month.

Notes

Use kosher salt if you have it. Remember 1 teaspoon kosher salt is less salt vs 1 teaspoon of table salt. The larger crystals take up more space and are actually less salt. If you only have table salt, start with a scant ½ teaspoon and go from there.
If mixture is too thick, add another ½ TBS or so of water (all depends on water content of peppers).
