Ingredients

14 serrano chile peppers, stemmed
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1.5 tablespoons kosher salt
1.5 cups distilled white vinegar

Instructions

Combine the serrano peppers, garlic cloves, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. With the food processor running, gradually pour in the vinegar through the feed tube and process until completely smooth, approximately 5 minutes.
Transfer the hot sauce to a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Let it cook for 1 minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the hot sauce to cool completely. Pour the cooled sauce into a jar and refrigerate for at least 1 day to allow flavors to meld.
Strain the hot sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any solids. Store the finished serrano hot sauce in the refrigerator for optimal freshness and flavor.
