= Texas Hot Sauce =

 * '''Makes:''' 4 cups
 * Adapted from Homesick Texan
 * Contributor: Mike & Kate

== Ingredients ==
 * 1 pound plum tomatoes, stemmed and halved lengthwise
 * 3 jalapeños stemmed and halved (see note)
 * 4 garlic cloves, peeled
 * 1 cup water
 * salt and black pepper

== Instructions ==
 1. Combine everything but the salt and black pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft.
 2. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes. 
 3. Pour the contents of the pot into a blender or food processor and blend until well combined. 
 4. Add salt and black pepper to taste. 
 5. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

== Note ==
 * We like spicy food so we keep some of the jalapeño seeds in. You can also use between 1-3 jalapeños in the recipe.
 * This gets spicier if it sits for a few days.
