- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the Jalapeno Peppers: Slice the red jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise, and remove the stems. Place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins blister.
- Steam and Peel the Peppers: After removing the peppers from the oven, cover them with aluminum foil or a towel to allow them to steam. Once steamed, peel off the skins and discard them.
- Prepare the Food Processor: Set the peeled peppers into a food processor.
- Saute Onion and Garlic: Heat a small pan over medium heat, add chopped onion and garlic with a splash of olive oil, and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- Combine All Ingredients: Add all the remaining ingredients, including the tomato sauce, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and salt, to the pan and heat through.
- Process the Sauce: Transfer the mixture into the food processor with the roasted peppers. Process the sauce until it’s smooth. Alternatively, you can use a food mill if you prefer a thicker consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Test the sauce for salt and adjust it to your taste.
- Cool and Store: Allow the sauce to cool down before pouring it into a sterilized bottle. This homemade hot sauce can be stored for several weeks in the refrigerator.
