Note

Storage: Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.

Variations: Adjust the heat level by adding more or fewer jalapeños and ground red chilies. For a milder sauce, omit the chilies and use only a small amount of jalapeño.

Tip: If the sauce is too thick after simmering, add a splash of water or extra beer to reach your desired consistency. If too thin, simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Serving Suggestion: This sauce pairs well with fried chicken, fish and chips, hot dogs, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
