đź§„ Homemade Dill Pickle Hot Sauce Recipe

Making your own Dill Pickle Hot Sauce at home is surprisingly simple and lets you fine-tune the flavor to your preference.

đź›’ Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dill pickle brine (from a jar of pickles)
  • 2–3 dill pickles, chopped
  • 4–6 hot peppers (jalapeños for mild heat, serranos or habaneros for more intensity)
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (optional, for extra tang)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional, for depth)
  • Salt to taste

🔥 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Remove the stems from the peppers (and seeds if you want less heat). Roughly chop all vegetables.
  2. Blend it up: Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add more brine or vinegar to adjust consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust: Want more heat? Add another pepper. Need more tang? Splash in more pickle brine.
  4. Strain (optional): For a thinner, more traditional hot sauce texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
