Ingredients

  • Apricots (fresh or dried)
  • Jalapenos (fresh or pickled)
  • Sugar
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Garlic (minced)
  • Onion (finely chopped)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Water

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients, including apricots, jalapeños, vinegar, sugar, and any other spices you plan to use. Make sure the jalapeños are deseeded and finely chopped for a balanced flavor.

Step 2: Cook the Mixture

In a saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, jalapeños, vinegar, and sugar. Stir the mixture well to ensure that all ingredients are blended together.

Step 3: Bring to a Boil

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low.

Step 4: Simmer the Sauce

Allow the sauce to simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 5: Blend the Sauce

Once the sauce has thickened and the apricots have soft, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a regular blender to puree until smooth.

Step 6: Store the Sauce

Once blended, let the sauce cool before transferring it to jars or airtight containers. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or can it for longer preservation.

Notes

Adjusting Heat Levels

If you prefer a milder sauce, consider using fewer jalapeños or removing the seeds. For a spicier kick, leave the seeds in or add more jalapeños.

Serving Suggestions

This jalapeño apricot sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, can be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers, or drizzled over tacos for added flavor.

Alternative Ingredients

Feel free to experiment with other fruits like peaches or mangoes in place of apricots for a different taste profile. Additionally, you can adjust the sugar content to suit your sweetness preference.
