Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup vinegar-based hot sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, finely ground
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop the dill pickles and mince the garlic to ensure smooth blending. Measure out all other ingredients for easy mixing.
  2. Combine the Base: In a mixing bowl, stir together the hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey until well combined, creating a balanced liquid base with tang and sweetness.
  3. Blend It All Together: Add the chopped pickles, minced garlic, ground mustard seeds, and smoked paprika into a food processor or blender. Pour in the liquid base, then blend until you reach your preferred consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed—add more honey for sweetness, extra hot sauce for heat, or additional vinegar for tanginess.
  5. Refrigerate Before Serving: Transfer the sauce to a clean jar and refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors meld and develop fully.

Notes

  • Use firm, crunchy dill pickles for the best texture and flavor intensity.
  • Mince garlic fresh just before blending to preserve its sharpness.
  • Pulse your blender for a chunkier sauce or blend longer for a smooth texture.
  • Add apple cider vinegar gradually to prevent overly acidic sauce.
  • Let the sauce rest in the fridge to deepen flavor before serving.
