How to Make Slim's Hot Pepper Sauce

  1. Saute 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 1 cup chopped carrots (optional) and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Transfer the onion, garlic, and carrot mixture to a blender. Add 1-2 cups chopped hot peppers (adjust to your desired heat level), and puree until completely smooth.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the puree, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld.
  5. (Optional) Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother consistency.
  6. Pour the hot sauce into sterilized bottles or jars. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Store in the refrigerator.
