Serrano Pepper Hot Sauce
This is one of the easiest hot sauce recipes to make. Puree think ingredients, then simmer for 10 minutes. Considering how basic this is, it has a lot of flavor and has a good amount of heat. Another approach to making this would be to sauté the ingredients whole first before throwing them into the blender. Making the sauce this way brings out the flavor of the ingredients a little more. This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. But I don't know why this would last that long. It's quite tasty.

- 2 serrano peppers
