Ingredients

• ✓ serrano pepper
• jalapeno pepper
• water
• garlic
• brown sugar
• salt
• white vinegar

Instructions

1. 1 Place jalapeño and serrano peppers into a blender with water, garlic, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse several times, them blend until smooth.
2. 2 Transfer puree into a large glass jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring and scraping down the sides once a day.
