Serrano Pepper Sauce
This is a great way to make your own pepper sauce at home; regardless of the type of pepper you use. Simply dry toast the peppers with garlic, purée, simmer for a couple minutes with vinegar and salt, then strain into a jar. Serrano peppers are fairly hot; so if you a milder sauce, use jalapeños. If you’re looking for more heat, use some habaneros.
