Garlic Jalapeno sauce

4 jalapenos
4 cloves garlic
1/8th cup apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Pinch salt
some water

In a pot bring some water to a boil and blanch the whole jalapenos.just to soften the skin but not cook them all the way.
Prep the rest of the ingredients by crushing the garlic and adding it to vinegar or lemon juice.
Chop up the jalapenos  you may choose to add all of the seeds (This is where most of the heat is) so this gives you the chance to decide how hot you want it.)
place jalapenos into the garlic mixture, add pinch salt. and about 1-2 tablespoons of blanching liquid.
Allow it to sit for at least 1/2 hour or overnight. The salt and acid will allow the jalapenos natural liquids to flow out into the sauce giving more flavor.
After resting puree the mixture to the consistency you want. you may leave it chunky or smooth like what I have done in the pictures.
place in fridge and serve up with rice or anything. add it to salas or use it in cooking.
