Do you love adding little heat to your food? Then try this mildly spiced roasted red jalapeño hot sauce recipe.

Each year, I am amazed at how quickly the seasons change from summer to fall. We held on to warm temperatures into early October this year as remnants of hurricanes brought humid weather our way.

The warm weather allowed the peppers, tomatoes, and tomatillos to push out one more round of fruit. Even though we had an abundant harvest this year, I couldn’t resist allowing the plants to fulfill their desire to produce more. A few weeks later, a frost-warning forecast had me scrambling in the garden to harvest the remaining crops before they were killed by frost. I was surprised that there were so many jalapeño peppers.

We have plenty of canned tomato salsa on our storage shelves in the basement. The freezer is filled with containers of salsa verde and green chile sauce. There are also plenty of freezer bags filled with sliced sweet peppers and whole jalapeños to use as needed in recipes through the winter months.

I decided to try making some hot pepper sauce out of the bonus jalapeño harvest. I am so glad I did. It tastes amazing!

You can make a roasted hot sauce with any type of chili peppers or a mix of peppers. Jalapeños are a medium heat chili pepper, so this hot sauce is not overly hot. Removing the seeds will keep the hot sauce on the medium-hot side. Include the seeds if you like it hot. Be sure to wear gloves when working with hot peppers.

This Roasted Red Jalapeño Hot Sauce is a great way to use up an abundance of jalapeños. Skip the store bought bottles and puree up your own roasted hot sauce using good-quality ingredients.

  • Add a few drops of hot pepper sauce to soups, chilies, stir fry, or anything that needs an extra kick.
  • Enjoy a dash of with your morning scrambled eggs.
  • Substitute hot sauce for ketchup on burgers and French fries.
  • Drizzle hot pepper sauce on tacos, fajitas, or any of your favorite Mexican foods.

    I have also prepared an almost similar looking sauce using “Chalayan” peppers which are 3-4 inches long, and of bright red colour,the colour is so good that miniature painting artists in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states of India use the colour of peppers in paints. Moreover, the peppers are not as hot, some are very mild.u

    What a great post!

    This year I grew so many Jalapeno’s I didn’t know what to do with them. We smoked some to make Chipotle.
    Thanks for the recipe.

      Johnny, This seemed like a good year for jalapeño peppers. I am glad you enjoyed the recipe. You can also freeze jalapeño peppers whole if you still have extras.
