Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pickle juice
  • 1 cup chopped dill pickles
  • 2–3 hot peppers (such as jalapeño or serrano), roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or neutral oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather your dill pickles, hot peppers, garlic, vinegar, and oil. Chop the pickles and peppers roughly so they blend easily, and peel the garlic cloves for smooth incorporation.
  2. Blend the Base: Combine the chopped pickles, hot peppers, garlic, pickle juice, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and sugar in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes a moderately smooth sauce, leaving some texture for a nice bite.
  3. Emulsify with Oil: Slowly add olive or neutral oil to the blender while pulsing, which will help create a creamy consistency and mellow the intensity of the acidic ingredients.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample your sauce and adjust seasoning — add more salt, sugar, or vinegar if needed. For spicier sauce, toss in more hot peppers and blend again.
  5. Chill and Serve: Transfer the Dill Pickle Hot Sauce to a clean jar or bottle, refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld, and then enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh dill pickles and peppers for the brightest flavors.
  • Adjust vinegar and pickle juice amounts as needed to prevent overpowering sourness.
  • Remove seeds from peppers if you prefer a milder sauce.
  • Allow the sauce to chill overnight for the best flavor blend.
  • Use a high-speed blender for a smooth texture with some chunkiness retained.
  • Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
